Abamectin

Short Description:

Mode of Action of Abamectin:

  • Contact & stomach action, and also has translaminar properties (penetrates leaf tissue but is not truly systemic)
  • Abamectin works by stimulating the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, at nerve endings, causing chloride channel activation
  • Results in irreversible paralysis and death of target pests
  • IRAC Group 6 – Chloride channel activators (Avermectins and milbemycins)

Key Properties / USPs:

  • Excellent translaminar movement – penetrates leaf tissue to control pests on the underside of leaves; requires thorough coverage for optimal results
  • Effective against all motile stages of mites (including eggs and adult males)
  • Dual action – provides both contact and ingestion activity for comprehensive pest control
  • Long-lasting residual control – reduces number of applications needed
  • Can be mixed with horticultural oils for enhanced efficacy on citrus pests
  • Ideal fit for IPM programs – short pre-harvest intervals and compatibility with beneficial insects when used appropriately
  • Multiple application methods – foliar spray, soil application, and seed treatment available
  • Broad-spectrum activities – Spider mites, Rust mites, Broad mites, Tomato russet mites, Leafminers, Psyllids (including Asian citrus psyllid), Thrips, Whiteflies, Colorado potato beetle, and other sucking and chewing pests

Application:

1.Cabbage: Apply at peak of egg hatching to early larval stage of diamondback moth. The safety interval is 7 days, and no more than 1 use per growing season .

2.Citrus Tree: Apply at early stage of red spider mite occurrence (2-3 mites per leaf). The safety interval is 14 days, and no more than 2 uses per growing season .

3.Pear Tree: Apply at early larval stage of psyllid (1-2 instars). Dilute 2000-4000 times. The safety interval is 14 days, and no more than 2 uses per growing season .

4.Cotton: Apply at peak of bollworm egg hatching. Dilute 750-1500 times. The safety interval is 14-21 days, and no more than 2-3 uses per growing season .

5.Cucumber: Apply at early stage of leafminer or spider mite. The safety interval is 5-7 days, and no more than 3 uses per growing season .

6.Rice: Apply at peak of egg hatching to early larval stage of rice leaffolder. Use 15-20 ml/mu. The safety interval is 14 days, and no more than 2 uses per growing season .

7.Water Bamboo (Jiaobai): Apply at peak of egg hatching to early larval stage of stem borer. Use 13-18 ml/mu. The safety interval is 14 days, and no more than 2 uses per growing season .

8.Strawberry: Apply at peak of egg hatching to early larval stage of beet armyworm. Use 18-23 ml/mu. The safety interval is 7 days, and no more than 1 use per growing season .

Cautions:

Each crop can be used up to 1-3 times per growing season depending on crop type to avoid resistance development. The safety interval varies by crop: 5-7 days for cucumber, 7 days for cabbage and strawberry, 14 days for citrus, pear, rice and water bamboo, and 14-21 days for cotton .

This insecticide is toxic to fish, bees, and silkworms. Do not apply during flowering periods or near sericulture areas. Avoid application near aquaculture ponds and do not clean application equipment in rivers or ponds .

Do not mix with alkaline pesticides such as lime sulfur or Bordeaux mixture. Rotate with insecticides having different modes of action to delay resistance development .

If swallowed, induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. Avoid administering drugs that enhance GABA activity (e.g., barbiturates, valproic acid) during treatment
