Avermectin is insecticidal/miticidal compounds derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. Abamectin is a natural fermentation product of this bacterium. It acts as an insecticide by affecting the nervous system of and paralyzing insects. Abamectin is used to control insect and mite pests of citrus, pear, and nut tree crops, and it is used by homeowners for control of fire ants .


Avermectin has stomach toxicity and touch killing effect on mites and insects, and cannot kill eggs. The mechanism of action is different from general insecticides in that it interferes with neurophysiological activities and stimulates the release of γ-aminobutyric acid, which has an inhibitory effect on the nerve conduction of arthropods. Adults, nymphs and insect larvae of mites will appear paralyzed after contact with abamectin, do not move, do not feed, and die after 2 to 4 days. Abamectin has a slower lethal effect because it does not cause rapid dehydration of insects. Although avermectin has direct contact and killing effects on predatory insects and parasitic natural enemies, it does little damage to beneficial insects because of the few residues on the plant surface. Abamectin is absorbed by the soil and will not move, and is decomposed by microorganisms, so it has no cumulative effect in the environment and can be used as a component of comprehensive prevention and control. It is easy to prepare, and the preparation can be used after being poured into water with a little stirring. It is also safer for crops and will not cause phytotoxicity when used according to the method introduced. Applicable crops Vegetables, citrus, cotton, etc.
