Abamectin 1.8% EC Insecticide – Acaricide (1L) – Pest is listed at Agroprime for customers looking for reliable insect control products for gardening, agriculture and outdoor care.

Abamectin 1.8% EC is a broad-spectrum agricultural insecticide and acaricide that combines biological origin with advanced formulation technology for maximum pest control efficiency.

The active ingredient, Abamectin, is a natural fermentation product from Streptomyces avermitilis, known for its potent activity against mites and leaf-feeding insects. It acts by disrupting the nervous system of pests, causing paralysis and death shortly after contact or ingestion.

This formulation provides excellent translaminar movement, penetrating the leaf surface to reach hidden pests on the underside, where many conventional sprays fail. It is highly effective on crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beans, strawberries, and ornamentals, ensuring enhanced crop protection and quality yield.

With its low dosage, high efficacy, and rapid action, Abamectin 1.8% EC is a preferred choice for farmers and greenhouse growers seeking safe, reliable, and cost-effective pest management solutions under the UAE’s challenging growing environments.
