Mode of Action
Understanding the mechanism of GOLDSTAR
Acephate inhibits acetylcholinesterase in insect synapses after being absorbed and translocated through the plant system. This causes acetylcholine to accumulate at nerve junctions, leading to continuous nerve stimulation. As a result, the insects experience muscular spasms, paralysis, and eventually die, providing effective control of target pests.
