Abamectin is a mixture of avermectins which are derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. It contains > 80% avermectin B1a and < 20% avermectin B1b. These two components, B1a and B1b have very similar biological and toxicological properties.
It's an effective insecticide and acaricide used to control a wide range insect and mite pests in agronomic, fruit, vegetable and ornamental crops, and it is used by homeowners for control of fire ants. Doses of 50 to 200 ug/kg of ivermectin, is widely used to treat humans in the WHO onchocerciasis (river blindness) program.
Abamectin Biochemistry
Acts by stimulating the release of γ-aminobutyric acid, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, thus finally activating chloride channels.
Abamectin Mode of action
Insecticide, acaricide and nematicide with contact and stomach action. Has limited plant systemic activity, but exhibits translaminar movement.
Abamectin Applications
Control of motile stages of mites, leaf miners, suckers, Colorado beetles, etc. on ornamentals, cotton, citrus fruit, pome fruit, nut crops, vegetables, potatoes, and other crops. Application rates are 5.6 to 28 g/ha for mite control, 11 to 22 g/ha for control of leaf miners. Also used for control of nematodes by seed treatment, and of fire ants.
Abamectin Phytotoxicity
May be phytotoxic to pome fruit when mixed with captan.
Abamectin Compatibility
Not compatible with captan.
Abamectin Usage:
Provide more effect, longer control of all varieties of spidermites, cyclamen mite, rust mite, leaf miner, psylla…etc, at all stages
Translaminar movement which means more reliable control of leaf miners and spidermites. Provide long residual control.
Highly active for a long period due to its content of a high percent of the active isomer avermectin.
Used on a wide range of crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, eggplants, also on fruit trees and ornamentals.
