AbaMeck 36 EC is a specialized acaricide and insecticide containing abamectin at 36 g/L. It is used to control spider mites, leaf miners and thrips on a wide range of vegetable, fruit and ornamental crops. Its translaminar action lets it penetrate leaf tissue and reach pests hiding on the underside of leaves or inside leaf mines, stopping feeding and reducing crop damage. Thanks to its high efficacy, it is a farmer favorite in mite and leaf-miner control programs, protecting foliage and helping maintain plant vigor and crop quality.
Key Features
- Controls red spider mites and other plant mites that cause leaf yellowing, weak growth and lower yields.
- Effective against leaf miners: reaches larvae inside the leaf tissue and limits further infestation and spread.
- Helps control thrips and reduces damage from their feeding on leaves, flowers and fruit.
- Translaminar action for high efficiency against hidden pests.
- Acts on the pest's nervous system, causing it to stop feeding and then die gradually.
- Suitable for integrated pest management (IPM) programs and rotation with other pesticides to reduce the risk of resistance.

Precautions
- Do not exceed the recommended rates or repeat sprays unnecessarily.

- Avoid spraying in high temperatures or strong wind.
- Keep out of reach of children and away from food and animal feed.
Orkida Tip
- Yellow stippling on the leaves, fine webbing, or winding white mines inside the leaves are often early signs of mite or leaf-miner infestation. Applying AbaMeck 36 EC at the start of an infestation gives much better results than waiting until the pest spreads. Rotate it with products from different chemical groups within an integrated program to keep it effective for as long as possible.
