Abamectin 1.8% EC Insecticide
Abamectin 1.8% EC is a highly effective, broad-spectrum neurotoxic insecticide and miticide with strong contact and stomach action, as well as translaminar activity. It is widely used to control mites, leaf miners, thrips, nematodes, and other pests across crops such as cotton, citrus, vegetables, and ornamentals. Compatible with various agrochemicals, it enhances pest control efficacy and delays resistance development. Available in multiple formulations (EC, SC, WDG, ME, SL, etc.), it supports diverse application methods including foliar spray and irrigation systems, making it an ideal solution for integrated pest management.
