Abamectin 1.8% EC Insecticide and Miticide – Rapid Paralysis and ...

POMAIS Abamectin 1.8% EC insecticide is an advanced, low-toxicity formulation designed to help you manage critical pest pressures across a wide range of crops. As a member of the macrocyclic lactone family, it delivers both contact and stomach poison effects, causing pest paralysis by disrupting the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission pathway. This leads to fast immobilization and death in common pest targets like leafminers, mites, diamondback moths, and rice borers.

Thanks to its translaminar penetration, Abamectin 1.8% EC reaches hidden pests beneath leaf surfaces while being gentle on beneficial insects. You can apply it confidently across crops such as vegetables, cotton, potatoes, citrus, rice, and ornamentals. Its compatibility with various active ingredients also makes it a core product in IPM rotation plans. With customizable packaging, export documentation, and registration support, POMAIS ensures that your abamectin supply chain remains efficient, reliable, and tailored to your market needs.

When you apply Abamectin 1.8% EC, its unique mode of action targets the nervous system of pests with fast and irreversible effects. As a neurotoxic insecticide, abamectin binds to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors at the nerve endings of arthropods. This enhances GABA release, which disrupts neural signal transmission, leading to muscle paralysis, loss of mobility, and ultimately death due to starvation and dehydration.

Unlike systemic pesticides, abamectin works mainly through ingestion and contact, but its translaminar movement allows it to penetrate leaf surfaces and reach pests feeding on the undersides. This makes it highly effective against leafminers, mites, and larval pests that are otherwise difficult to reach.

You’ll typically observe initial pest paralysis within a few hours of treatment, with full mortality occurring in 2 to 4 days, depending on pest species and environmental conditions. Its selective toxicity minimizes harm to most beneficial insects when used as directed, making it a preferred tool in IPM (Integrated Pest Management) programs.

Whether you’re targeting mites on fruit trees or leafminers in vegetables, Abamectin provides target-specific control with minimal risk of resistance when properly rotated with other insecticide classes.

Tank Mix Compatibility & IPM Integration

Abamectin 1.8% EC demonstrates excellent tank mix compatibility, making it a reliable partner in combination with various insecticides, acaricides, and fungicides. This allows you to optimize application schedules, reduce labor costs, and broaden pest control spectrum in a single pass.

Compatible Mixtures:

Abamectin can be tank-mixed with a wide range of agrochemicals, including:

  • Neonicotinoids (e.g., Acetamiprid, Imidacloprid) – For extended activity against aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers

  • Diamides (e.g., Chlorantraniliprole) – Enhances larval control and leafminer suppression

  • IGRs (Insect Growth Regulators) (e.g., Diflubenzuron, Pyriproxyfen) – Effective in anti-resistance strategies

  • Fungicides (e.g., Difenoconazole, Propiconazole) – Suitable for combined pest and disease management in vegetables and orchards

Note: Avoid mixing with alkaline substances, as Abamectin is pH-sensitive and may degrade in high pH tank mixes.

Role in IPM Programs:

Abamectin plays a strategic role in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) due to its:

  • Selective toxicity to target pests while preserving many beneficial insects

  • Low environmental mobility, minimizing off-target effects and groundwater contamination

  • Resistance management potential when used in rotation or in combination with other MOA groups

Its rapid knockdown combined with a relatively short pre-harvest interval (PHI) makes it ideal for low-residue programs and late-stage interventions in high-value crops.

POMAIS recommends integrating Abamectin with biological controls and cultural practices, such as:

  • Timely crop rotation

  • Use of pest monitoring tools (sticky traps, pheromone lures)

  • Strategic spray timing during pest egg-laying or early larval stages

By adopting an IPM-based approach with Abamectin 1.8% EC, you not only improve control efficacy but also prolong the field viability of your pest control tools.

Regulatory Compliance & Safety Profile

As a globally recognized active ingredient, Abamectin 1.8% EC by POMAIS meets stringent international safety, quality, and registration standards. Whether you're an importer, distributor, or brand owner, we ensure your product meets both regulatory and operational requirements.

All documents are provided in English or local language upon request to meet country-specific dossier and customs requirements.

Toxicology & Ecotoxicology:

  • Human Toxicity: Abamectin is considered moderately toxic through ingestion and inhalation. Proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is required during handling and application.

  • Environmental Fate: It binds tightly to soil particles and undergoes microbial degradation, thus minimizing groundwater contamination risks.

  • Impact on Non-Target Species: Although toxic to fish, bees, and silkworms, its non-systemic, low-residue profile reduces long-term impact when applied properly and in accordance with label directions.

Handling Precaution: Avoid contamination of water bodies and pollinator-rich areas. Do not mix with alkaline products. Store away from food, feed, and heat sources.

Worker Safety:

  • Re-entry Interval (REI): Typically 12–24 hours post-application, depending on crop and national regulations.

  • Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): 3–7 days for most vegetables and fruit crops, 14 days for rice and long-season crops.

  • Label Language: Multi-lingual safety labeling and pictograms available for international clients.
