ABA – 19 (Abamectin 1.9 EC) 500ml l For control of spotted spider , red spider mites

Description

Defend your fields against hidden and resistant pest populations with Hifield ABA-19, an advanced insecticidal and miticidal solution. Formulated as Abamectin 1.9% EC, this emulsifiable concentrate is derived from natural soil microorganisms and optimized for agricultural crop protection.

Many small pests, such as mites and leaf miners, feed on the undersides of foliage or inside leaf tissue, making them difficult to target with conventional contact sprays. Hifield ABA-19 solves this challenge by rapidly penetrating the leaf surface, creating an internal reservoir of protection that eliminates target pests when they attempt to feed.

Key Benefits & Features

• Dual Insecticide & Miticide Action: Delivers simultaneous, broad-spectrum control over both phytophagous mite species and highly mobile sucking insects.

• Excellent Translaminar Movement: Quickly moves from the upper surface of the leaf to the lower surface, ensuring comprehensive protection against hidden pests.

• Rapid Feeding Cessation: Exposed pests stop feeding almost immediately after ingestion or contact, minimizing further crop damage while the pest drops off or dehydrates over a few days.

• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Tool: Features a unique mode of action that breaks the resistance cycle of pests previously exposed to synthetic pyrethroids or organophosphates.

• Extended Residual Protection: Because the active compound binds securely within the leaf tissue, it remains protected from UV degradation, providing long-lasting field efficacy.

Mode of Action

Hifield ABA-19 relies on the potent activity of Abamectin, a macrocyclic lactone compound. It operates as a GABA and Glutamate Gated Chloride Channel Activator. Upon contact or ingestion, the compound stimulates the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and permanently opens chloride channels in the pest’s nervous system. This influx of chloride ions blocks nerve signal transmission, causing immediate neuromuscular paralysis. The target pests lose their ability to move, stop feeding instantly, and eventually perish.

Target Crops & Controlled Pests

This versatile emulsifiable concentrate delivers outstanding crop protection across high-value agricultural sectors:

• Chilli & Solanaceous Crops (Tomato, Brinjal): Provides exceptional control against Yellow Mites, Red Spider Mites, Thrips, and Fruit Borers.

• Cotton & Field Crops: Manages Twospotted Spider Mites, Thrips, and early leaf-feeding caterpillars.

• Fruit Orchards (Grapes, Citrus, Pomegranate): Targets Rust Mites, Thrips, Leaf Miners, and Psylla complexes.

• Vegetables & Cucurbits: Defends against Leaf Miners, Whiteflies, and various mite populations.

Application Guidelines & Dosage

For maximum efficacy, apply Hifield ABA-19 at the very first appearance of pest activity or during early infestation phases before population levels spike.

• Recommended Dosage: Mix 0.75 ml of Hifield ABA-19 per liter of water for standard foliar applications.

• Spraying Technique: Ensure thorough and even coverage of the entire plant canopy. Use fine spray nozzles to maximize leaf surface retention.

• Best Practices: Apply during the cooler parts of the day—either early morning or late afternoon—when wind speeds are low. This maximizes leaf absorption and prevents spray drift.

• Tank Compatibility: Compatible with most standard, non-alkaline insecticides, fungicides, and foliar nutrients. Avoid tank mixing with highly alkaline materials or copper-based compounds, which can destabilize the emulsifiable matrix.
