Mode of Action:
-Abamectin: Binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels, causing an increase in
the flow of chloride ions, leading to hyperpolarization of nerve cells and paralysis
of pests.
-Beta-cypermethrin: Acts on the nervous system of insects, interfering with the
sodium ion channels of nerve membranes, causing continuous nerve impulses and
ultimately killing pests.
-The combination of the two has a synergistic effect, enhancing insect-killing
efficiency.
Benefits:
-Broad-spectrum insect control, covering multiple types of pests.
-High efficiency, can quickly reduce pest populations.
-Good compatibility with other Pesticide, can be used in tank-mixtures.
-Relatively low resistance risk due to the combination of two active ingredients.
Precautions:
-PPE: Chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, long-sleeved clothing.
-Do not apply when winds exceed 20 km/h.
-Do not mix with alkaline Pesticide.
-Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place at 0°C to 35°C.
Environmental Hazards:
-Toxic to bees and aquatic organisms.
-Do not apply near beehives or water sources.
-Low toxicity to birds and mammals.
