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.

It is safer and more environmental-friendly than organophosphorus.
It has high insecticidal activity and rapid medicinal effect.
Has a strong osmotic effect.
It is resistant to rain erosion and has a long lasting effect.
The abamectin should be stored in a dry, cool, ventilated, and rainproof place, away from fire and heat sources. Keep it out of reach of children and lock it. Do not store or transport with food, beverages, grains, or feed.
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.
Abamectin 1.8% EC is engineered to provide broad-spectrum insecticidal and miticidal control in both open-field and greenhouse environments. Its effectiveness covers a wide range of economically damaging pests that affect fruiting vegetables, field crops, and ornamentals.
Mites (Tetranychus spp., Panonychus spp.) – including red spider mites and two-spotted spider mites
Leafminers (Liriomyza spp.) – especially damaging in tomato, cucumber, and leafy greens
Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) – a major pest in cruciferous vegetables
Rice stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) – prevalent in paddy fields
Cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) – destructive to cotton and legumes
Thrips and beet armyworms (Spodoptera exigua) – on floriculture and vegetable crops
Fire ants – in orchards and non-crop settings
Crop Type | Target Pests | Application Stage |
---|---|---|
Cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, kale) | Diamondback moth, leafminers | 2nd instar larval stage |
Rice | Stem borers, leafrollers | Peak egg hatching or early larval stage |
Cotton | Mites, bollworms | Early infestation monitoring |
Citrus & Fruit Trees | Red spider mites, thrips | Early season and maintenance applications |
Mint & Ornamentals | Mites, leafminers, thrips | At visible signs of infestation |
Ginger & Tubers | Pyralid larvae | 3–5 leaf stage or pest appearance threshold |
To achieve maximum efficacy and crop safety, Abamectin 1.8% EC should be applied through foliar spraying during specific pest development stages. Proper timing, dosage, and equipment calibration are critical to its performance.
Dilution: For 1.8% EC formulation, dilute at a ratio of approximately 1:1000 (1 liter per 1000 liters of water), depending on crop and infestation severity.
Spray Volume: Ensure thorough and uniform coverage on both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Frequency: Typically, 1–2 applications per season are recommended, with a spray interval of 7–14 days based on pest resurgence.
Crop | Target Pest | Dosage (Product/ha) | Method |
---|---|---|---|
Rice | Cnaphalocrocis medinalis | 15–20 g/mu | Foliar spray |
Ginger | Pyrausta nubilalis | 30–40 ml/mu | Foliar spray |
Brassica crops | Plutella xylostella (DBM) | 35–40 ml/mu | Foliar spray |
Cotton | Helicoverpa armigera, mites | 50–160 ml/mu | Foliar spray |
Soybean, potato | Leafminers, beet armyworms | 30–50 ml/mu | Foliar spray |
Fruit trees, citrus | Red spider mites, thrips | 600–1000 ml/ha | Foliar spray |
Using calibrated knapsack or boom sprayers will improve distribution and increase the active ingredient’s leaf penetration, particularly on crops with dense canopies or waxy surfaces.

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.
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
