Emamectin
Emamectin

Emamectin is the 4"-deoxy-4"-methylamino derivative of Abamectin, a 16-membered macrocyclic lactone produced by the fermentation of soil actinomycete Streptomyces avermitilis. It is generally prepared at the salt with benzoic acid, emamectin benzoate, which is a white or faintly yellow powder.

This organic matter is widely used in the US and Canada as an insecticide because of its chloride channel activation properties.

Uses
Emamectin is applicable to the control of Lepidoptera on vegetables, brassicas and cotton, at up to 16g/ha, and in pine trees, at 5-25 g/ha.
