Abamectin 1.8% EC is a proven broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide trusted by growers worldwide. Its unique mode of action — activating GABA and glutamate-gated chloride channels — delivers effective control of mites, leafminers and lepidopteran pests that have developed resistance to other chemical classes.
EC Formulation Benefits
- Rapid Emulsification: EC formulation emulsifies instantly in spray water, forming a stable milky emulsion for uniform application
- Excellent Crop Coverage: Low surface tension enables thorough coverage of leaf surfaces including undersides where mites congregate
- Translaminar Activity: Abamectin moves into leaf tissue, providing residual control of feeding pests while maintaining low surface residue
- Tank-Mix Compatibility: Compatible with commonly used fungicides and insecticides for integrated spray programs
Application Across Crops
- Vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, cucurbits — control spider mites, leafminers and diamondback moth at 0.5–1.0 L/ha
- Fruit Trees: Apples, citrus, grapes — suppress tetranychid and eriophyid mites at 1.0–1.5 L/ha
- Cotton: Spider mite and bollworm complex management in cotton at 0.8–1.2 L/ha
- Ornamentals: Greenhouse and nursery mite and thrips control
