Acephate solution is widely used as an insecticide in agriculture to control a variety of chewing and sucking pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, and spider mites. It is effective on crops like vegetables, fruits, tea, and ornamental plants. The systemic nature of acephate allows it to be absorbed into the plant tissue, providing protection from within and making it effective against pests that feed internally or are hidden. It is often applied through foliar spray or soil drenching. Due to its relatively low persistence, it is suitable for integrated pest management programs where repeated but controlled applications are needed. Acephate is also used in non-agricultural settings, including greenhouses and nurseries, for pest control in controlled environments.
