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. Aktivna materija abamektin ispoljava insekticidno i akaricidno dejstvo, a na našem tržištu
se pretežno nalazi formulisana u obliku koncentrata za emulziju (EC). Da bi se povećala
efikasnost preparata najćešće se preporučuje njegova primena sa nekim ađuvantom,
uglavnom uljem biljnog ili mineralnog porekla. Da bi se prevazišli problemi oko efikasnosti
ove aktivne materije, pokušali smo da je formulišemo kao uljnu disperziju (OD) sa sojinim
uljem kao disperznom sredinom. Sadržaj aktivne materije u formulaciji iznosio je 1,8%. Razvijena
formulacija je ispitivana praćenjem relevantnih parametara i na osnovu dobijenih
rezultata zaključeno je da ima potrebnu stabilnost. U narednoj fazi predstoji ispitivanje formulacije
pri primeni, odnosno provera efikasnosti.
