Acephate is an organophosphate foliar insecticide of moderate persistence with residual systemic activity of about 10–15 days at the recommended use rate. It is used primarily for control of aphids including resistant species in vegetables (e.g. potatoes carrots greenhouse tomatoes and lettuce) and in horticulture (e.g. on roses and greenhouse ornamentals). It also controls leaf miners caterpillars sawflies and thrips in the previously stated crops as well as turf and forestry.
