Adama Acemain: The Systemic Expert for Chewing & Sucking Pests
Acephate 75% SP
Versatile Protection. Deep Systemic Action.
Adama Acemain is a high-performance, broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide designed to control a wide range of chewing and sucking pests.1 Formulated as a Soluble Powder (SP) with Acephate 75%, it provides powerful systemic action, making it an essential tool for farmers protecting Cotton, Safflower, and Rice crops.2
Acemain is widely trusted for its ability to manage pests that have developed resistance to other chemical classes.3 Its dual mode of action ensures that pests are stopped whether they touch the chemical or feed on the treated plant.4
Why Choose Adama Acemain?
🔄 Strong Systemic Action:
Acemain is absorbed rapidly by the plant roots and foliage and translocated throughout the plant system.5 This means pests feeding on any part of the plant—even those hiding inside leaves or stems—are eliminated.6
🎯 Triple-Threat Mode of Action:
Systemic: Moves inside the plant to kill hidden pests.7
Contact: Kills pests immediately upon touching the spray.
Stomach: Kills pests when they ingest treated plant parts.
🛡️ Broad Spectrum Control:
Effective against a wide variety of pests including Jassids, Bollworms, Aphids, and Stem Borers.8
📉 Safer for Beneficials:
Compared to many other harsh insecticides, Acephate is relatively safer for beneficial predatory insects, making it a smarter choice for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
💧 High Solubility:
The 75% SP formulation dissolves easily in water, ensuring a uniform spray mixture without clogging nozzles.9

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How does Acemain work?
A: Acemain contains Acephate, which inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the pest's nervous system.11 This causes over-stimulation of the nerves, paralysis, and eventually the death of the insect.12
Q2: Is Acemain effective against Bollworms?
A: Yes, Acemain is highly effective against Bollworms in cotton crops.13 Its systemic nature ensures that larvae feeding inside the bolls or leaves are also targeted.14
Q3: Can I use Acemain on vegetables?
A: While Acephate is effective, you must strictly follow the label claims regarding Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI). It is commonly registered for Cotton, Safflower, and Rice.15 Consult local agricultural extension officers before using it on export-bound vegetables due to residue limits.
Q4: Is it compatible with other agrochemicals?
A: Acemain is compatible with most common insecticides and fungicides.16 However, avoid mixing it with highly alkaline substances (like lime sulfur or Bordeaux mixture) as they can degrade the Acephate and reduce effectiveness.
Q5: What is the waiting period after spraying?
A: The waiting period (PHI) varies by crop. Generally, for cotton and paddy, it is recommended to wait at least 15 days before harvesting after the last spray.
