  • Applications

    Abamectin, CAS number: 71751-41-2, is a macrocyclic lactone insecticide/acaricide used primarily in agriculture. It is applied in field and horticultural crops to control a broad range of insect pests and mites. It is also formulated for greenhouse and nursery crops to manage foliar pests and mites under protected cultivation. In consumer contexts, abamectin-containing products are used in household or garden pest-control formulations for nuisance pests. In some regions, abamectin may be included in veterinary parasiticides or livestock/pet formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
