Acaromik

Advanced pest control for orchards and greenhouses

"Akaramik" by Rotam Agrochemical is a high-performance solution designed for agronomists managing high-value crops. Its formulation, based on Abamectin (avermectins), targets pests that are notoriously difficult to control with standard contact insecticides due to their sheltered lifestyle within plant tissues.

Field Application: When to use

In apple orchards, "Akaramik" is an essential tool for managing spider mites during peak infestation periods, especially in hot weather conditions. The product’s unique combination of contact and systemic-like translaminar action allows it to penetrate the epidermis of the leaves, creating a protective reservoir that effectively targets leaf miners and mites hiding deep within the foliage.

For tomato producers, particularly in greenhouses, "Akaramik" acts as a cornerstone treatment against thrips. Because it affects pests both upon direct contact and through ingestion as they feed on treated tissue, it offers a reliable way to keep populations below economic damage thresholds throughout the growing season.

Practical usage guidelines

• Application Rate: Use between 0.5 and 1.0 liters per hectare, depending on pest pressure and the density of the crop canopy.
• Season Limit: Apply no more than 2-3 times per season. Always rotate with other chemical classes to prevent the development of pest resistance.
• Method: Apply via foliar spraying only. Ensure uniform coverage of the leaf surface, as the efficacy of Abamectin relies on proper distribution.

As an emulsifiable concentrate, "Akaramik" provides excellent stability and mixing properties. Given its Toxicity Class 2 rating, strict adherence to personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols is required during all application stages to ensure safety for field workers.
