Crystal Abacin Abamectin 1.9% EC - Product Overview

Crystal Abacin is an insecticide and acaricide containing Abamectin 1.9% EC. Crystal describes Abacin as having translaminar, contact and stomach activity. The current Indian package label lists it for two-spotted red spider mite in ornamental rose.

Abamectin belongs to IRAC Group 6, the avermectins and milbemycins. IRAC classifies Group 6 actives as glutamate-gated chloride-channel allosteric modulators that affect nerve and muscle function in susceptible pests.

Technical Specifications

How Abamectin Works

1. Leaf-tissue movement: translaminar activity helps Abamectin move into correctly treated leaf tissue.
2. Target-site action: Abamectin allosterically modulates glutamate-gated chloride channels in susceptible mites.
3. Nerve and muscle disruption: this interferes with normal movement and feeding.

Labelled Use, Rate and Waiting Period
