Abamectin 1.9% EC is a biological-origin insecticide and acaricide derived from the fermentation of Streptomyces avermitilis. It controls spider mites, thrips, and leafminers in chilli, cotton, tomato, brinjal, okra, cucumber, and other vegetables. The EC (emulsifiable concentrate) formulation provides translaminar penetration, meaning it moves through the leaf surface to reach pests feeding on the underside, where contact sprays cannot reach.
Abamectin 1.9% EC is the higher-concentration formulation of abamectin, providing equivalent mite and pest control at a lower product volume per acre compared to standard 1.8% EC formulations available in the market.
Abamectin 1.9% EC is used for control of spider mites, thrips, and leafminers in vegetable crops, chilli, cotton, and ornamentals. It is particularly effective where mite and thrips populations have developed resistance to conventional synthetic pyrethroids and organophosphates.

Water volume: 200 litres per acre for foliar spray. Mixing tip: Add EC to half-filled tank, agitate well, fill to volume. Spray both leaf surfaces especially the underside where mites and thrips cluster. Repeat interval: 10–15 days. Maximum sprays per season: 2. Rotate
Abamectin is a macrocyclic lactone derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis.
Abamectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels (GluCl channels) in the insect and mite nervous system. This causes an irreversible increase in chloride ion permeability, leading to hyperpolarisation of nerve and muscle cells, paralysis, and death. Because it targets a receptor not affected by conventional insecticides, it is highly effective against mite and thrips populations that have developed resistance to pyrethroids and organophosphates.
Additionally, abamectin has translaminar activity it penetrates the leaf cuticle and forms a reservoir in the leaf mesophyll tissue. This means pests feeding on the underside of leaves, inside leaf tissue (leafminers), or in concealed positions are controlled even if they were not directly contacted by the spray.
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Chemical Origin | Fermentation product of Streptomyces avermitilis |
| Target Site | Glutamate-gated chloride ion channels (GluCl) |
| Action Type | Contact + Translaminar (non-systemic) |
| Pest Stages Controlled | Nymphs, larvae, adults not eggs |
| Residual Activity | 7–14 days foliar |
| Resistance Profile | Effective against pyrethroid & OP-resistant mite populations |
Important: Toxic to bees do not spray during flowering or when bees are active. Toxic to fish and aquatic organisms do not spray near water bodies. Pre-harvest interval (PHI): 3 days for vegetables, 7 days for chilli, 14 days for cotton. Wear gloves, mask, goggles, and full-sleeve clothing during application. Do not mix with alkaline compounds. Store in cool, dry place away from food and livestock.
Abamectin 1.9% EC is used for the control of spider mites, thrips, yellow mites, and leafminers in chilli, cotton, tomato, brinjal, okra, cucumber, and vegetables. It is effective against pest populations resistant to conventional insecticides.
The dose is 0.5 ml of Abamectin 1.9% EC per litre of water. For per-acre application, use 100–150 ml in 200 litres of water depending on crop and pest pressure.
Abamectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels (GluCl) in the insect and mite nervous system. This causes irreversible paralysis and death.
Yes. Abamectin 1.9% EC is highly effective against spider mites and broad mites in chilli. Spray at 0.5 ml per litre when mite infestation first appears silvering of leaves is the key early symptom. Cover leaf undersides thoroughly.
Yes. Krishikranti Antigo Abamectin 1.9% EC is available for online purchase at Krishibhandar.com with free delivery across India. It is not available on Amazon India — purchase directly from Krishi Bhandar for a genuine product.
Abamectin 1.9% EC has a slightly higher active ingredient concentration than 1.8% EC. The 1.9% formulation provides equivalent pest control at the same or slightly lower dose, with comparable efficacy.
No. Abamectin controls nymphs, larvae, and adult stages of mites and thrips but has no ovicidal activity it does not kill eggs. A repeat spray after 7–10 days is recommended to control newly hatched nymphs from eggs present during the first spray.
Abamectin 1.9% EC can be used on chilli, cotton, tomato, brinjal, okra, cucumber, beans, and ornamentals for spider mite, thrips, and leafminer control.
