Product_introduction
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, with a solubility of about 300 μ g/L (25 ℃) in water, soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, methanol, acetonitrile, chloroform, etc.
Stability: Stable under normal storage conditions, but prone to decomposition under strong acid and alkali conditions, unstable to ultraviolet radiation, and easily degraded under sunlight.
Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action of emamectin benzoate is similar to that of avermectin, mainly by enhancing the permeability of chloride ions on the nerve cell membrane of pests, allowing a large amount of chloride ions to enter the cells, leading to hyperpolarization of nerve membrane potential, obstruction of nerve conduction, paralysis, refusal to eat and other symptoms of pests, and ultimately death. Its main modes of action against pests are gastric toxicity and contact killing, with no systemic absorption, but it can transmit horizontally within the plant body.
Application scope
Applicable crops: Widely used in various crops such as vegetables, fruit trees, cotton, tobacco, tea, flowers, etc.
Target of prevention and control: It has special effects on Lepidoptera pests, such as beet armyworm, twill armyworm, diamondback moth, cotton bollworm, tobacco caterpillar, leaf roller moth, etc. It also has a certain control effect on pests such as aphids, thrips, and leaf mites.
