Item description
HPM Baadshah Acetamiprid 20% SP Insecticide
HPM Baadshah is an insecticide containing Acetamiprid 20% SP. HPM lists it for specific sucking-pest and hopper uses in cotton, cabbage, okra, chilli and rice. Select it only after correctly identifying the crop and target pest, and follow the current physical pack and leaflet.
The table below reproduces the crop, target, dose, water volume and waiting-period information published by HPM for this product. These directions are not interchangeable between crops or pests. Do not make a pump-dose calculation from this page.
Why Choose This Product?
- Label-specific crop protection: HPM lists defined uses for cotton, cabbage, okra, chilli and rice.
- Clear formulation identity: Acetamiprid 20% SP.
- Resistance-awareness information: Acetamiprid is IRAC Group 4A, so another Group 4A product is not a different-mode rotation.
- Measured application: HPM gives crop-specific acre doses, water volumes and waiting periods; use the row that matches the exact crop and pest.
Technical Specifications

| Trade Name | Baadshah |
| Technical Name / Formulation | Acetamiprid 20% SP |
| Product Type | Insecticide |

How It Works: Mode of Action
HPM describes Acetamiprid as acting on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system and describes systemic, translaminar, contact and stomach activity. IRAC places Acetamiprid in Group 4A. This classification is useful for resistance planning, not a reason to use multiple insecticides together.
- Identify: Confirm that the crop and target pest match a current Baadshah label row.
- Apply: Use only the relevant product-label dose and water volume; obtain local expert advice for timing and spray quality.
- Rotate responsibly: If a later intervention is independently needed, select a label-approved option with a different effective IRAC group for the same crop and pest. Do not repeat Group 4A products as a claimed rotation.

Dosage & Application Guide
Use the exact row for the crop and target pest. HPM's stated water volume is 200–240 L per acre for every row below. Do not derive a universal millilitres-per-litre or grams-per-pump instruction.
| Crop | Target | Dose / acre | Water / acre | PHI / waiting period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Aphids | 20 g | 200–240 L | 15 days |
| Cotton | Jassids | 20 g | 200–240 L | 15 days |
| Cotton | Whiteflies | 40 g | 200–240 L | 15 days |
| Cabbage | Aphids | 30 g | 200–240 L | 7 days |
| Okra | Aphids | 30 g | 200–240 L | 3 days |
| Chilli | Thrips | 20–40 g | 200–240 L | 3 days |
| Rice | Brown planthopper | 20–40 g | 200–240 L | 7 days |
PHI/waiting period is the minimum time between the last application and harvest stated by HPM. If the physical pack or a current official direction differs, follow it.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Diagnose first: Match the identified pest and crop to a verified label row before use.
- Measure accurately: Use the applicable acre dose and water volume from the current label; do not use an unverified pump-dose shortcut.
- Protect pollinators and water: HPM states that Acetamiprid is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment. Avoid direct treatment when bees are actively visiting the area and follow all current label environmental directions.
- Use PPE and follow the pack: Read the current label and leaflet for PPE, first aid, storage, disposal, re-entry, maximum applications and state-specific directions.
