Common Name: Acephate
CAS No.: 30560-19-1

Acephate is an organophosphate foliar spray Insecticide of moderate persistence with residual systemic activity of about 10-15 days at the recommended use rate. Acephate is used for control of a wide range of biting and sucking insects, especially aphids, including resistant species, in fruit, vegetables (e.g. potatoes and sugar beets), vine, and hop cultivation and in horticulture (e.g. on roses and chrysanthemums grown outdoors). Acephate also controls leaf miners, lepidopterous larvae, sawflies and thrips in the previously stated crops as well as turf, mint and forestry. Acephate is considered non-phytotoxic on many crop plants. Although, a marginal leaf-burn has occurred on Red Delicious apples. Acephate and its primary metabolite, methamidophos, are toxic to Heliothis spp. that are considered resistant to other organophosphate Insecticides. Acephate emits toxic fumes of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur oxides when heated to decomposition. Symptoms of exposure to Acephate include a slight irritation of eyes and skin. Acephate comes in soluble powder, pressurized spray and granular formulations.
