Abstract
Abamectin was developed as an insecticide, nematocide and acaricide for use
on a variety of agricultural and horticultural crops. The products with this
active ingredient can be found on the market mostly formulated as
emulsifiable concentrate (EC). Usually producers recommend using the EC
formulation of abamectin together with some kind of adjuvants (natural oils)
to improve efficacy of the active ingredient. To overcome the efficacy
problem we tried to formulate the active ingredient abamectin as oil
dispersion (OD). Oil dispersion, preferably based on naturally derived oils
could improve pesticide efficacy. This type of pesticide formulation contains
oil instead of water as in classical suspension concentrate and typically has
better retention and coverage. In the case of abamectin, in this
investigation soybean oil was used with the mixture of different nonionic
emulsifiers. Content of abamecetin in formulation was 1.8 %. The developed
formulation was tested for few important parameters. The obtained
physicochemical properties for the above mentioned formulation have shown
that it is stable and could be used in plant protection.
