What are the precautions for using abamectin?

Precautions for using abamectin

1. Abamectin is toxic to bees, so it must not be used on flowering crops during the honey-gathering period of bees.

2. Abamectin is sensitive to aquatic plankton, so this agent should not be used in a way that pollutes fish ponds and rivers.

3. This agent has no cross-resistance with other types of acaricides, and it remains effective against pest mites that have developed resistance to other acaricides.

4. If accidental ingestion and poisoning occur, ipecac syrup or ephedra can be taken as an antidote, and drugs that enhance γ-aminobutyric acid activity, such as barbiturates and valproic acid, should be avoided.

5. Prohibited crops. According to the guidelines for pesticide use in green food production, this agent must not be used when producing Grade A and Grade AA green vegetable and fruit tree products.
