Abamectin has been popular among growers for its excellent cost performance. , Abamectin is not only an insecticide, but also an acaricide, or a nematicide.

 

Excellent effect on lepidopteran pests

Abamectin is frequently registered on the lepidopteran pest Plutella xylostella, and occasionally it is also registered on the rice leaf roller. At present, avermectin is mainly used to beat the leaf roller on rice. Due to the long use time In general, avermectin will also be compounded with tetraclosan and chlorantraniliprole to control leaf rollers.

 

In the past few years, high-dose abamectin has appeared in the rice market to fight the resistant Chilo suppressalis. In the case of compounding other agents, the effect is not bad. The abamectin is used less on the vegetable diamondback moth. The main reason is too much resistance.

 

Good effect of preventing mites
