Returning to Nature as a Source of Inspiration
Low residues in harvest fruit and vegetables make it an ideal choice for growers to produce to the highest demand set by the food chain for low residues.
VERTIMEC 1.8 EC FACT SHEET
Active Ingredient:
Abamectin
Formulation:
Emulsifiable Concentrate
Mode of Action:
Abamectin acts mainly by ingestions but also has contact and translaminar activity meaning that the active ingredient passes into the leaf tissue forming a toxic reservoir of Abamectin that continues to kill pests as the feed on the mespphyll tissue. Ingestion of abamectin results in rapid paralysis and subsequent death of insect and mite pests.
Main Benefits of Using VERTIMEC®:
VERTIMEC® forms a "insecticide reservoir" in the leaf tissue giving long lasting activity.
VERTIMEC® is an excellent fit into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs as its low use rates reduces the amount of chemical in the environment.
VERTIMEC® has short PHI and therefore can be used close to harvest with little disruption to harvesting schedules.
VERTIMEC® has low residues and therefore little or no chance of an export being rejected for exceeding the import tolerances.
