Orthene 97.4% Acephate — Systemic Soluble Insecticide for Turf, Trees & Ornamentals

Orthene 97.4% Acephate is a water soluble, systemic insecticide designed to shield turf, trees, and ornamental plants from a broad range of pests. After application, the active ingredient moves through the plant’s vascular system, delivering protection from within as new growth unfolds. This internal protection can help maintain healthy foliage and blooms throughout the growing season.

Why growers choose Orthene

With a high concentration of acephate, this formulation emphasizes interior protection that travels with the plant. The systemic nature means protection adapts to new growth, potentially reducing visible damage on leaves, buds, and flowers as conditions change year round.
