POMAIS Abamectin 1.8% EC | Miticide and Insecticide

Abamectin

Abamectin has stomach poison and contact-killing effects on mites and insects, but it does not kill eggs. The mechanism of action differs from conventional insecticides as it interferes with neurological activities, stimulating the release of γ-aminobutyric acid, which inhibits nerve conduction in arthropods.

Adult mites, larvae, and insect larvae exhibit paralysis symptoms and become inactive and cease feeding shortly after contact with Abamectin, with death occurring 2 to 4 days later. Due to its slow dehydration effects, Abamectin's lethal action is gradual.

Although Abamectin has a direct contact-killing effect on predatory insects and parasitic natural enemies, its minimal residual presence on plant surfaces minimizes damage to beneficial insects. Abamectin is adsorbed by soil and does not move, and it is decomposed by microorganisms, so it does not accumulate in the environment, making it suitable as a component of integrated pest management. It is easy to prepare, simply pour the formulation into water and stir before use, and it is relatively safe for crops.

Dilution Ratio of 1.8% Abamectin:

The dilution ratio of Abamectin varies depending on its concentration. For 1.8% Abamectin, the dilution ratio is approximately 1000 times, while for 3% Abamectin, it is approximately 1500-2000 times. Additionally, there are other concentrations available, such as 0.5%, 0.6%, 1%, 2%, 2.8%, and 5% Abamectin, each requiring specific adjustment of the dilution ratio according to its concentration. It is important to note that Abamectin should not be mixed with alkaline pesticides during use.

Precautions:

When using, comply with the "Regulations on the Safe Use of Pesticides" and pay attention to safety precautions. Wear a mask.
It is toxic to fish, silkworms, and bees. Avoid contaminating fish ponds, water sources, bee farms, silkworm sheds, mulberry orchards, and flowering plants during use. Dispose of used packaging properly and do not reuse it or discard it casually.
It is recommended to rotate the use of insecticides with different mechanisms of action.
Do not mix with alkaline pesticides or other substances.

First Aid Measures for Poisoning:

Symptoms of poisoning include dilated pupils, impaired movement, muscle tremors, and vomiting in severe cases.
For oral ingestion, induce vomiting immediately and administer syrup of ipecacuanha or ephedrine to the patient, but do not induce vomiting or administer anything to unconscious patients. Avoid using drugs that enhance the activity of γ-aminobutyric acid (such as barbiturates or pentobarbital) during rescue.
If accidentally inhaled, immediately move the patient to a well-ventilated area; if skin or eye contact occurs, immediately rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
