Rallis Hunk (Acephate 95% SG) – Product Overview
Rallis Hunk is a premium, high-strength systemic insecticide featuring Acephate 95% SG (Soluble Granules). It is a highly concentrated organophosphate that provides robust protection against a wide variety of sucking and chewing pests. The 95% SG formulation represents the most advanced form of Acephate, offering superior solubility, lower dosage requirements, and faster action compared to traditional 75% SP formulations.
Key Features & Mode of Action
Systemic & Contact Action: Hunk is quickly absorbed by the plant’s green parts and translocated throughout the system. It kills pests both on contact and when they ingest treated plant tissue.
Cholinesterase Inhibition: It works by disrupting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the insect's nervous system. This leads to continuous nerve impulses, resulting in paralysis and rapid death.
Dual Combat: It is uniquely effective against both sucking pests (like Aphids and Jassids) and tough chewing pests (like Bollworms and Caterpillars).
Superior SG Formulation: The Soluble Granules are dust-free, dissolve instantly in water, and ensure 100% bioavailability of the active ingredient.
Recommended Uses on Various Crops
Rallis Hunk is a "heavy-duty" solution particularly favored in fiber and vegetable crops for its quick knockdown effect.

Key Benefits
High Concentration: The 95% purity means less product is needed per acre, making it logistically efficient and highly potent.
Ovicidal Action: It has a significant effect on the eggs of many lepidopteran pests, helping to prevent the next generation from hatching.
Fast Action: Known for its "quick-kill" property, it stops pest feeding shortly after application.
Cost-Effective: Provides broad-spectrum control at a very competitive price point per acre, making it a favorite for large-scale farmers.
Excellent Penetration: Its strong systemic nature ensures that even pests hidden inside curled leaves or dense canopies are reached.
Application & Safety Guidelines
Mixing: Add the required quantity of Hunk granules to a small amount of water to make a slurry, then add the remaining water while stirring.
Coverage: Use 150–200 liters of water per acre. Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage for the best systemic uptake.
Wait Time: Observe the recommended Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI). For example, in Cotton, the waiting period is typically around 15 days.
