Abamectin + Thiamethoxam SC 18.5% is a combined insecticide with contact, systemic, and stomach action. Controls thrips, aphids, whiteflies, leafminers, and mites. Safe handling and environmental guidelines included.
Combined Insecticide & Miticide for Tomato and Other Crops
Abamectin + Thiamethoxam is a synergistic insecticide combining two active ingredients with different modes of action:
Abamectin (from the avermectin family)
Thiamethoxam (from the neonicotinoid family)
This combination is available in various formulations such as suspension concentrates (SC) or emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and exhibits contact, stomach, and systemic activity.
Mode of Action
Abamectin
is a macrocyclic lactone derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis.
It stimulates GABA receptors in the nervous system of insects and mites, disrupting nerve transmission and causing paralysis and death.
GABA receptors in mammals are much less sensitive, so its toxicity to humans and other mammals is low.
Thiamethoxam
Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid that affects nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system of insects, disrupting nerve transmission and causing paralysis and death.
It is particularly effective against sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips.
Uses
The Abamectin + Thiamethoxam combination is effective against a wide range of pests, including:
Thrips
Aphids
Whiteflies
Leafminers
Psyllids
Mites
The dual action on different parts of the insect nervous system enhances pest control efficiency and delays the development of resistance. This makes it especially recommended for resistance management programs.
This combination is formulated as emulsifiable concentrates or granules and applied as foliar sprays.
The two different mechanisms reduce pest resistance and provide more effective control of thrips, aphids, and whiteflies.
Studies show a significant reduction in fruit damage from 30% in untreated crops to 8–10% with combined treatment.
Improves overall crop yield and reduces pest-related losses.
