Abamectin 1.9% EC is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide and acaricide that is effective against a variety of insects, ticks, and mites. It provides the best control because it has strong translaminar activity with contact and stomach action. It can be used to treat mites and leaf miners, and it is said to protect the major parasites as well as some predatory mites. When applied to foliage, the poison is absorbed by the leaves, where feeding insects come into contact with it.
Abamectin 1.9% EC is a neurotoxic insecticide and acaricide. It generally works by amplifying the glutamate effects on the invertebrates-specific gated chloride channel, which prevents the transmission of electrical impulses in the muscles and nerves of invertebrates. They activate the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system, which produces a chemical “transmitter” at nerve endings that inhibits both nerve-to-nerve and nerve-to-muscle communication. After a few days, the affected insect becomes paralysed, stops feeding, and dies.
