Abamebria

Abamebria is an insecticide-acaricide based on abamectin, a fermentation-derived active that moves into the leaf tissue rather than sitting on the surface. That translaminar movement is what makes it work on pests a contact spray cannot reach: two-spotted spider mite on the underside of the leaf, leafminer larvae tunnelling inside it, and rust mite in the folds of citrus fruit. Pests stop feeding within hours and die over the following days.

Características

• —Translaminar action reaches mites and miners on and inside the leaf
• —Rapid cessation of feeding — visible crop protection before mortality is complete
• —Broad label across citrus, cotton, greenhouse vegetables, strawberry, pear and ornamentals
• —IRAC Group 6 — a distinct mode of action for rotation against Group 1, 3 and 4 resistance
• —Effective at low rates; typically 25 ml/100 L of water
• —Can be combined with 0.25% horticultural oil on citrus for improved coverage

Cómo actúa

Abamectin activates glutamate-gated chloride channels in the pest's nerve and muscle cells. The channels open, chloride floods in, and the cell can no longer fire. The pest is paralysed and stops feeding almost immediately; death follows over two to four days. IRAC Group 6.
