Orthene Turf, Tree & Ornamental WSP is an insecticide containing 75.0% Acephate. It is formulated as water-soluble packets (WSP) to reduce handling exposure and simplify measuring and disposal. This product is used to protect trees, turf, and ornamentals from a variety of insect pests. It functions as an organophosphate insecticide by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, which ultimately paralyzes the insect's nervous system. It is classified under IRAC Group 1-B. Application sites include ornamental trees and shrubs, container-grown nursery stock, greenhouses, commercial only outdoor ornamental plants, golf course and sod farm turfgrass, and cut flower production. It can also be used for outdoor and perimeter spray applications. Note that use is restricted in California.
