Emamectin benzoate is a biological insecticide and acaricide. Due to its high efficiency, low toxicity, low residue, and environmental friendliness, it has been widely favored by growers in recent years and can be used to control various pests on vegetables, fruit trees, cotton, and other crops. However, we need to pay special attention: do not use emamectin benzoate alone, as some insects have developed resistance to it, and sometimes it may not be effective. It is recommended to use it in combination with other pesticides.

Recommended Mixtures and Formulations

(1) Emamectin benzoate + chlorfenapyr: a dual insect and acaricide.

It mainly kills pests through stomach poison and contact action. By mixing or compounding, not only can the amount of pesticide used be reduced, but the development of pest resistance can also be delayed. When mixed or compounded, it shows significant effectiveness against various vegetable pests, including diamondback moth, cabbage caterpillar, beet armyworm, cotton bollworm, cabbage leafminer, fruit fly, psyllid, whitefly, and thrips.

(2) Abamectin + indoxacarb: This combination offers rapid action and a long-lasting effect.

It fully combines the insecticidal advantages of abamectin and indoxacarb, resulting in better rapid action and a longer-lasting effect. It also exhibits strong penetrability and good resistance to rain washout.

The mechanism of action is primarily through contact with or ingestion by the pests, allowing the pesticide to enter their bodies and immediately stop feeding on the crop. Generally, pests die within 4-6 hours, with peak mortality occurring at 18 hours.

When mixed or combined, the effects on lepidopteran pests such as rice leaf roller, beet armyworm, cotton bollworm, cabbage caterpillar, diamondback moth, cotton bollworm, corn borer, leafroller, and codling moth are relatively better and faster.

Special reminder: Abamectin is absorbed by the tender shoot tissue of plants. Once the shoots open, the absorbed abamectin will exert a second peak insecticidal effect, killing pests that harm the tender shoots.

(3) Abamectin + lufenuron: Expands the range of pests and delays the development of pest resistance.

This not only complements the control range of the two single agents, but also delays the development of pest resistance due to their different insecticidal mechanisms.

This formula can quickly control pests and has a relatively long-lasting effect. It has dual effects of killing insects and eggs. It is particularly important to note that application during the peak hatching period of pest eggs—the peak period of young larvae—can simultaneously control the eggs, effectively reducing the insect population and thus resulting in a relatively long-lasting effect.

When mixed or compounded, it is relatively effective against pests such as beet armyworm, cabbage caterpillar, cotton bollworm, and rice leaf roller, and the effect can last for more than 20 days.

(4) Abamectin + hexaflumuron: kills both insects and eggs, quickly, thoroughly, and for a long time.

Not only does it kill more types of insects, but it also kills both eggs and insects, possessing excellent characteristics such as speed, cleanliness, thoroughness, and long-lasting effect.

When mixed or compounded, this formula has a super-strong killing ability against pests that have developed stubbornness and high resistance. For example, pests such as cabbage caterpillars, rice leaf rollers, beet armyworms, and cotton bollworms.

(5) Abamectin + methoxyfenozide accelerate pest mortality.

When combined or mixed, the pesticide can cause pest larvae to stop feeding, accelerate molting, and mature and die prematurely, exhibiting excellent characteristics such as high insecticidal and ovicidal efficacy, broad spectrum, safety, and long-lasting effect.

When mixed or combined, it has a good effect on lepidopteran pest larvae, such as rice stem borers, beet armyworms, and sugar beet armyworms.

(6) Abamectin + chlorbenzuron quickly kill larvae and inhibit egg hatching.

When combined or mixed, the pesticide can inhibit the hatching of pest eggs and quickly kill larvae.

In this formula, the combination of abamectin and chlorbenzuron provides both rapid killing and long-lasting effects, resulting in a relatively ideal control effect. When mixed or compounded, it has a good control effect on pests such as corn borers and pod borers.

(7) High-efficiency cypermethrin (Beta-cypermethrin) + abamectin has high insecticidal activity.

When compounded or mixed, the agent has the characteristics of a highly effective, low-residue, low-toxicity (nearly non-toxic formulation), and pollution-free biological pesticide, and can be widely used for pest control on vegetables, fruit trees, cotton, and other crops.

In this formula, the insecticidal activity is very high, with both stomach poison and contact action on pests, and low doses have a highly effective insecticidal effect.

When mixed or compounded, it has a good control effect on rice stem borers, red rice stem borers, large stem borers, corn borers, diamondback moths, beet armyworms, tobacco budworms, and aphids on citrus fruits.

(8) Abamectin·chlorpyrifos kills both insects and mites, delaying the development of pest resistance. 

When compounded or mixed, the pesticide has strong penetrability and is effective against pests and mites of all ages, and also has an ovicidal effect. If we apply the pesticide early for prevention, the residual effect is relatively long.

When compounded or mixed, it has a good control effect on pests such as fall armyworm, spider mites, tea green leafhopper, cutworm, and diamondback moth in corn.

Special reminder: If the pesticide still cannot control pests after mixing, it is recommended to add some adjuvants, such as essential oils or organosilicon, but you must use regular adjuvants.

(9) Abamectin + triflumuron inhibit the hatching of insect eggs and kills a variety of insect species.

When compounded or mixed, the pesticide can inhibit the hatching of insect eggs, disrupt the molting characteristics of larvae, and increase the number of insect species killed. When mixed or compounded, it is quite effective against various pests of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, such as leafrollers, leaf miners, corn borers, rice leaf rollers, cabbage caterpillars, and stink bugs.

(10) Abamectin + methoxyfenozide significantly enhance insecticidal activity.

After compounding or mixing, the stomach poison effect of the pesticide is relatively enhanced, resistance is less likely to develop, the residual effect is longer, and it is relatively safe for crops.

The mixed or compounded pesticides have a good control effect on noctuid moth eggs and larvae in cruciferous vegetables.

Of course, there are many other mixed or compounded pesticides of abamectin, such as abamectin·flufenoxuron + chlorpyrifos, abamectin·carbamate + methamidophos, etc.
