Abamectin is a 16-membered macrolide compound offering insecticidal, acaricidal, and nematicidal activities. Derived from the fermentation of Streptomyces griseus, it exhibits stomach toxicity, contact killing effects, and a certain fumigation effect. Its primary mechanism involves interfering with the neurophysiological activities of pests, blocking motor nerve information transmission, leading to rapid paralysis and eventual death.

This insecticide (mite) agent boasts a long duration, interfering with pest fat synthesis and blocking energy metabolism. It's highly systemic, conducting up and down within the plant.
