MiteXcel
MiteXcel having Abamectin 1.9% EC is a highly effective insecticide and acaricide formulated to control a wide range of mites and insect pests in various crops. It is derived from a natural fermentation process and exhibits both contact and stomach action.
It works by affecting the nerve cells of pests, causing paralysis and ultimately death. It is especially effective against mites and lepidopteran larvae, offering rapid knockdown and long-lasting residual control.
This formulation is ideal for integrated pest management (IPM) programs as it is selective to beneficial insects when used as recommended. It helps farmers protect their crops efficiently while minimizing environmental impact.
Technical Name:
Abamectin 1.9% EC
Mode of Action:
Abamectin acts by interfering with the neurotransmission in insects and mites. It binds to chloride channels in nerve and muscle cells, increasing the flow of chloride ions and leading to paralysis and death of the pest. It provides translaminar action, allowing it to penetrate the leaf surface and control pests feeding on the underside.
Benefits:
- Effective against mites, leaf miners, and caterpillars.
- Acts quickly with long-lasting residual control.
- Low dosage requirement reduces cost per acre.
- Ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
- Minimal impact on beneficial insects when used correctly.
Suitable Crops:
- Cotton
- Chili
- Tea
- Vegetables (e.g., tomato, brinjal)
- Fruit crops (e.g., citrus, grapes)
