Abamectin(CAT: I004674) is a widely used insecticide and acaricide derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. It belongs to the avermectin family of compounds and has broad-spectrum activity against various insects and mites. Abamectin works by interfering with the nervous system of the target pests, leading to paralysis and ultimately their death. It is commonly used in agriculture to control pests on crops such as vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants. Additionally, it is used in veterinary medicine to treat parasitic infections in livestock. Abamectin has proven to be effective against a range of pests and has been an important tool in integrated pest management strategies.
