Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP

Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP is a broad-spectrum insecticide formulated for effective control of sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and jassids in various crops. Buprofezin, an insect growth regulator (IGR), disrupts chitin synthesis, inhibiting molting in immature stages, while Acephate, an organophosphate, acts as a systemic neurotoxin, disrupting acetylcholinesterase activity, leading to paralysis and mortality. This combination provides both immediate and prolonged pest control.

Description

Mode of Action

Buprofezin: Acts as an IGR, inhibiting chitin synthesis, preventing nymphs from developing into adults, and suppressing pest populations over time.
Acephate: Functions as a systemic and contact insecticide, inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), causing nervous system failure in target pests.

Benefits

Dual-mode action ensures both rapid knockdown and long-term suppression.
Effective against resistant populations due to distinct biochemical pathways.
Systemic activity allows deep penetration in plant tissues for prolonged protection.
Minimizes damage from key sucking pests, improving plant health and yield.
Exhibits low toxicity to beneficial arthropods when used as per recommendations.
