Product Overview:
Starthene is a systemic + contact insecticide from SWAL, formulated as Acephate 75% SP (Soluble Powder). It is used against a broad range of sucking and chewing pests (e.g. aphids, jassids, bollworms, stem borers, brown plant hopper etc.) in crops such as cotton, paddy (rice), and vegetables.

| Recommended Dose / Rate | ~ 350-500 grams per acre (depending on crop, pest pressure) |
| Application Method | Foliar spray to cover infested foliage thoroughly. Might also be used via seed or root contact as per local guidelines. |
| Features / Properties | Quick knock-down, ovicidal action (affects eggs), relatively economical dose, some residual activity after application. |
| Precautions / Safety Notes | Use personal protective equipment; follow label; avoid overuse to reduce resistance; ensure application does not harm non-target beneficial insects. (Typical of Acephate products) |
Benefits:
- Broad Spectrum Pest Control - Effective against many sucking pests (aphids, jassids, mealybug, leafhoppers) and chewing pests (stem borers, leaf folders, bollworms).
- Dual Mode of Action - Works both by contact (when pests are hit directly) and stomach action (when pests feed on treated plant parts) for more complete control.
- Rapid Knock-down + Residual Effect - Begins acting quickly (knock-down) and lasts for a significant period (residual control), reducing re-infestation.
- Systemic Absorption - Absorbed by foliage and possibly roots, which helps control pests feeding on new growth.
- Economical Usage - High concentration (75% SP) means a relatively lower amount of product per unit area; usable in multiple crops (cotton, rice/paddy, vegetables) making cost per crop spread out.
- Ease of Use - Soluble Powder form, mixes well, water-soluble, easy application.
