Mode of Action

Abamectin, from the Avermectin group, acts as a nerve poison that inhibits nerve-to-nerve and nerve-to-muscle communication. This results in paralysis, cessation of feeding, and eventual death of the pest within a few days. When applied on foliage, it penetrates the leaves through its translaminar action, allowing feeding insects and mites to encounter the active compound and be eliminated effectively.

• Red Spider Mites
• Diamondback Moth

Target Crops

• Vegetables (tomatoes, cabbage, French beans, capsicum)
• Fruits (mangoes, passion fruits, avocados, citrus)

• Timing: Apply at the first sign of infestation or pest egg hatch peak.
• Frequency: Repeat every 7 days as needed, depending on pest pressure.
• Method: Apply as a full cover spray ensuring uniform crop coverage.
