Microcapsulated Insecticidal Compositions of Abamectin with Capsule-Forming agents Based on Natural Renewable Raw Materials

The results of the development of microcapsulated insecticidal compositions based on abamectin and phospholipids of vegetable (soy and sunflower lipids) and animal (egg lipids) origin are presented. The authenticity of the technical substance was assessed based on the data of physic-chemical analysis methods (UV, IR, RP HPLC). Extraction-based method and chromatographic determination of abamectin in microcapsulated compositions have been developed. The simplest technological options for obtaining capsules using mechanical/ultrasonic dispersion are considered. The size of the microcapsules was analyzed and the insecticidal activity of the obtained compositions was evaluated.
