Mode of Action

GROUP 6 INSECTICIDE

Abamectin blocks the transmission of electrical activity in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells mostly by enhancing the effects of glutamate (an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in insects) at the glutamate-gated chloride channel. By activating glutamate-gated chloride channels, the mite becomes paralysed, stops feeding and dies.

Abamectin has contact toxicity, but its stomach toxicity is much stronger. After 2-3 days of spraying abamectin, its insecticidal efficacy will be best and the longevity of residues will last about 7-15 days. Although it has no ovicidal action (egg control), it moves via translaminar activity (one side of leaf to the other) to kill mites that hide in the internal leaf sheath’s.
