For the control of pest mites on pears, apples, tomatoes, citrus, hops, strawberries and ornamentals. For the control of pest mites and native budworm on cotton.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Abamectin is for the control of pest mites on pears, apples, tomatoes, citrus, hops, strawberries and ornamentals, and for the control of pest mites and native budworm on cotton. After application, Abamectin quickly moves into leaves where it remains for several weeks and where it is taken up by sucking mites. Abamectin is not systemic making good coverage essential. Abamectin that is not absorbed into plants is quickly degraded.

APPLICATION ON COTTON
Air: Apply by spray when there is a reliable cross wind to assist with good penetration into the crop canopy. Application should be carried out in the cooler parts of the day or night. Preferably use aircraft fitted with Micronair atomizers.
Ground: Use inter-row droppers fitted with nozzles spraying towards the cotton rows. Inter row nozzles should be level with or just below the canopy and spraying at right angles to the ground.

MIXING
Measure the required amount of Abamectin, add to the partly filled spray tank, and then add the remainder of the water. If oil is recommended, add this after the Abamectin is well mixed. Wetting agent is not required.

COMPATIBILITY
Abamectin is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides. Do not apply with ULV formulations.
