Mode of Action
Acephate 75% SP belongs to the organophosphate group and acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It disrupts the insect nervous system, causing paralysis and death. Due to its systemic properties, the molecule is absorbed by plant tissues and controls both exposed and concealed pests.
