Usage: Abamectin is used to control insect and mite pests of a range of agronomic, fruit, vegetable
Introduction:
Abamectin is a mixture of avermectins containing more than 80% avermectin B1a and less than 20% avermectin B1b. These two components, B1a and B1b have very similar biological and toxicological properties. The avermectins are insecticidal or anthelmintic compounds derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. Abamectin is a natural fermentation product of this bacterium. Abamectin is used to control insect and mite pests of a range of agronomic, fruit, vegetable and ornamental crops, and it is used by homeowners for control of fire ants. Abamectin is also used as a veterinary antihelmintic. Resistance to abamectin based antihelmintics, although a growing problem, is not as common as to other classes of veterinary antihelmintics.
Beta-cypermethrin
A pyrethroid insecticide currently within the EU regulatory review process. It has a low aqueous solubility, in relatively volatile and, based on its chemical properties, is not expected to leach to groundwater. It is non-persistent in soil systems. It is highly toxic to mammals and there is some concern regarding its ability to bioconcentrate. It is moderately toxic to birds, earthworms and highly toxic to honey bees and most aquatic species except for algae where there is a reduced risk.
