Abahit Insecticide by HPM (Abamectin 1.9% EC)
The "Attentive" Protector: Specialist Solution for Mites and Leaf Miners
Abahit -(HPM) is a premium, broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide (mite killer) designed for high-value crops. Derived from natural soil bacteria, it combines the power of nature with modern science. The name "Abahit" comes from Sanskrit, meaning "Attentive" or "Vigilant"—a promise that this product stands guard over your crops against invisible threats like Red Spider Mites and Leaf Miners.
Best For: Farmers looking for a "Silver Bullet" solution when standard sprays fail to control mites or hidden larvae in vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Immediate "Stop-Feeding" Action: Pests may take a few days to die, but they become paralyzed and stop damaging your crop the moment they touch Abahit.
- ?️Translaminar "Hidden" Protection: [Image of translaminar action in plant leaf] The chemical penetrates the leaf surface and stays inside. It kills pests hiding under the leaf (like mites) or tunneling inside it (like leaf miners).
- ⏳Long-Lasting Reservoir: Because it stores itself inside the leaf tissues, it provides extended protection even after the surface spray dries.
- ?️Weather Resistant Formulation: The 1.9% EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate) formula absorbs quickly, making it less likely to wash off once it has penetrated the leaf.
- ?Natural Origin & IPM Compatible: Derived from the Streptomyces bacterium, it is less harmful to beneficial insects (once dry) compared to harsh synthetic chemicals.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Abahit works by targeting the nervous system of the pest. It acts as a GABA agonist (Chloride Channel Activator).
- Ingestion or Contact: The pest eats the treated leaf or touches the spray.
- Nerve Blockade: The chemical binds to nerve channels, locking them open.
- Paralysis: The pest becomes permanently paralyzed, stops feeding immediately, and dies within 3 to 5 days.
Note: This unique mode of action makes it excellent for rotating with other chemicals to prevent resistance.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Abahit is a high-potency product, so small doses go a long way.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes & Fruits | 150 - 200 ml | 200 - 400 L | 0.5 - 1.0 ml | 7 - 10 |
| Vegetables (Tomato/Cucumber) | 150 - 200 ml | 200 L | 0.75 - 1.0 ml | 3 - 5 |
| Ornamentals (Roses) | 100 - 150 ml | 200 L | 0.5 - 0.75 ml | -- |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the very first sign of mites or leaf miner tracks. Do not wait for severe infestation.
- Mixing: Add the required quantity of Abahit to a small amount of water, mix well, and then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray reaches the undersides of the leaves where mites hide. The translaminar action helps, but good coverage is better.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near fish ponds as it is toxic to aquatic life.
