Acemain Adama

Adama Acemain is a broad-spectrum, systemic, and contact insecticide containing Acephate 75% SP (Soluble Powder) as its active ingredient. It is highly effective against a wide range of chewing and sucking pests, including aphids, jassids, whiteflies, thrips, and various caterpillars. Its dual systemic and contact action ensures both immediate knockdown and long-lasting protection as it is absorbed by plant tissues.

Crop-Wise Applications, Pests, and Dosages

Note on Dilution: Mix the recommended quantity of Acemain thoroughly in a small volume of water first, then add it to the final spray tank volume (typically 200 liters per acre for field crops) to ensure uniform coverage.

Best Time to Spray

• Time of Day: Spray during the early morning or late afternoon. Avoid spraying during peak                                         sunlight hours or high temperatures, as rapid evaporation reduces efficacy and can                                 cause crop stress.

• Weather Conditions: Apply when rainfall is not expected for at least 4 to 6 hours to allow the product to be properly absorbed by the foliage.

• Pest Threshold: Initiate spraying when pest populations cross the economic threshold level (ETL), rather than waiting for heavy infestation.

Safety Precautions

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear protective gear, including rubber gloves, face masks, eye goggles, and long-sleeved clothing during mixing and application.

• Handling: Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew tobacco while handling or spraying the chemical. Avoid breathing spray mist and prevent direct contact with skin and eyes.

• Environmental Protection: Keep away from water bodies, ponds, and streams, as Acemain is toxic to aquatic life and beneficial insects like bees.
