BROOKS 18 EC
INTRODUCTION: BROOKS 18 EC is an emulsifiable concentrate for dilution with water and application by ground application equipment, containing asactive ingredient: (Abamectin1.8% w/v (18 grams per litre)Insecticides & Acaricides IRAC GROUP 6 Main Group and Primary Site of Action : Glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl)allosteric modulators Nerve and muscle action Strong evidence that action at one or more of this class of protein is responsible forinsecticidal effects} Chemical Sub-group or exemplifying Active Ingredient Avermectins.
Mode of action: Avermectins are 16-membered macrocyclic lactones produced by Streptomyces avermitilis, and abamectin is a blend of avermectinB1a and avermectin B1b. The anthelminthic,insecticidal, and acaricidal activities of avermectins are well known and their mode ofaction is via blocking-amino butyric acid-stimulated chloride channels and open non- neurotransmitter-gated chloride channels. This causes an ionimbalance in the nervous system, resulting in paralysis.
