Emamectin benzoate  is a white or light yellow crystalline powder, which is improved and upgraded from abamectin, but has higher insecticidal activity than abamectin , It has the advantages of super high efficiency, low toxicity (nearly non-toxic preparation), low residue, no pollution and other biological pesticides.

Chemical Properties

As a new type of antibiotic bio-sourced insecticide, emamectin benzoate has the advantages of broad-spectrum, high efficiency, low toxicity and low residue. It has a good insecticidal effect on lepidopteran pests. The LC90 value range is 0.002~0.89 mg/L.
