Abacide 2 - Injectable Abamectin Insecticide Capsules
Abacide 2 by Mauget is a concentrated abamectin for use on forest, Christmas trees, seed cone nurseries and ornamental trees. Because Abacide 2 insecticide is both xylem and phloem mobile, it provides superior management options for difficult to control insects with a single application.
Abacide 2 can be applied in spring or summer as a preventative treatment prior to the emergence of insects or as a curative treatment after they are observed. A single application typically provides season long control.
Abacide 2 may be applied during late summer or fall to manage conifer bark beetles the following spring with options of single- or 2-year management with higher dosages.

Capsules Needed ≈ DBH ÷ 2
Example: A 20-inch DBH tree typically requires approximately 10 capsules.
Note: Capsule dosages, also known as micro-injectors, are calculated by measuring the tree diameter at breast height, or DBH, in inches, then dividing that number by two to determine the total number of capsules.
