Abamectin (an insecticide, acaricide and nematicide) containing
products, Durmusoglu et al. (2008) showed that the active ingredient
content of many “me too” products was either chemically inferior or
lower than stated on the container. Pesticide applications using suboptimal
or sub-standard amounts of active ingredient can have serious
implications in terms of sub-optimal or sub-standard levels of pest or
disease control.
