Overview

Acephate is an organophosphate foliar and soil insecticide known for its moderate persistence and residual systemic activity lasting about 10–15 days at the recommended use rate. It is primarily used to control aphids, including resistant species, in vegetables and horticulture. Acephate is available in various formulations including soluble powder, emulsifiable concentrates, pressurized aerosol, tree injection systems, and granular formulations.

Uses

Acephate is utilized in the agricultural sector to manage pests such as aphids, leaf miners, caterpillars, sawflies, thrips, and spider mites. It is applied to crops like potatoes, carrots, greenhouse tomatoes, lettuce, roses, and greenhouse ornamentals. Additionally, it is effective in controlling imported fire ants through direct application to mounds.

Regulatory

The use of Acephate is regulated by various authorities. As of 2012, the EPA has prohibited its use on green beans grown in the United States. In the European Union, Acephate is classified as an Annex III substance, indicating it is considered a health and environmental hazard.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of Acephate residues is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Acephate is considered non-phytotoxic to many crop plants. However, it and its primary metabolite, methamidophos, are toxic to certain resistant species. Exposure to Acephate can cause slight irritation of the eyes and skin. It emits toxic fumes of various oxides when heated to decomposition.

Environmental Impact

Acephate is classified as an environmental hazard due to its potential to cause harm to non-target species and ecosystems. Its moderate persistence in the environment necessitates careful management and monitoring.

Safety Measure

Handling Acephate requires adherence to safety guidelines to prevent exposure. Precautionary measures include avoiding contact with skin and eyes, using protective equipment, and following proper disposal procedures.
