2. Dual-Action Formula:
Acephate is an organophosphate insecticide that works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death.
Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid that targets the nervous system of insects, causing them to stop feeding and eventually die. This dual action enhances the overall effectiveness of the product.
3. Systemic and Contact Action:
The product has both systemic and contact activity, meaning it can be absorbed by the plant and transported throughout its tissues to control pests feeding on different parts of the plant, and also works on direct contact with pests.

Provides quick knockdown of pests and has a long-lasting residual effect, reducing the need for frequent applications.
5. Improves Crop Health:
By effectively controlling pests, it helps in maintaining the overall health of the crop, leading to better yield and quality.
6. Reduced Pest Resistance:
The combination of two active ingredients with different modes of action helps in managing resistance in pest populations, making it an effective tool in integrated pest management programs.
7. Versatile Usage:
Suitable for use on a variety of crops such as cotton, vegetables, fruits, pulses, and ornamentals.
8. User-Friendly:
