Acephate solution is widely used as an organophosphate insecticide in agriculture to control a broad spectrum of insect pests. It is particularly effective against sucking and chewing insects such as aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, and whiteflies on crops like vegetables, fruits, tea, and ornamental plants. The solution is applied through foliar spraying, allowing systemic uptake by the plant, which provides both contact and translaminar activity. This systemic property makes it effective even after the spray has dried, offering residual protection. Acephate is also used in non-crop settings such as greenhouses and nurseries due to its ease of application and effectiveness at low concentrations. It is favored in integrated pest management (IPM) programs where selective control is needed, though care is required due to its toxicity to beneficial insects like bees.
