Tapuz Insecticide
Tapuz is a highly effective combination insecticide formulated with Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP, designed to control a wide range of sucking pests such as whiteflies, aphids, jassids, and planthoppers in major field and horticultural crops. This powerful combination brings together the insect growth regulator (IGR) activity of Buprofezin with the systemic and contact action of Acephate, providing both immediate knockdown and long-lasting pest suppression.
Tapuz works by interrupting the molting process of immature insects while simultaneously controlling adult pests, ensuring multiple life stages of pests are effectively managed. Because of this dual mode of action, it is a valuable solution for farmers facing heavy infestations and resistance issues in crops like cotton, rice, vegetables, and fruit crops.

Tapuz Insecticide Features and Benefits
Dual Mode Pest Control
Combines the insect growth regulating properties of Buprofezin with the systemic insecticidal action of Acephate, targeting both immature and adult pest stages.
Stops Pest Development
Buprofezin disrupts the molting process of nymphs and larvae, preventing pests from developing into adults.
Quick Knockdown Effect
Acephate provides rapid systemic and contact control of active pest populations, reducing infestation quickly.
Long Residual Protection
Provides extended protection against re-infestation due to its growth inhibition properties.
Effective Against Resistant Populations
The combination of two different modes of action helps manage pests that have developed resistance to single-molecule insecticides.
Systemic Protection
Acephate moves inside plant tissues, protecting both treated and newly emerging plant parts.
Mode of Action
Buprofezin (IGR – Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor)
Prevents insects from forming new cuticle during molting, causing death during developmental stages.
Acephate (Organophosphate Systemic Insecticide)
Acts on the insect nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, leading to paralysis and death of pests.
Together, this combination ensures complete lifecycle disruption and rapid pest suppression.
