Active Material
Temephose (organophosphate)
Formulation
Abate® 1SG is a formulation containing 1% active ingredient on sand granules.
Where to Apply
Standing water, shallow ponds, lakes, woodland pools, tidal waters, marshes, swamps, drains, cesspits, and other water with high organic content. The 1SG formulation is particularly suitable for use in swamps or marshes because the sand granules fall through the overhead vegetation into the water. Abate® 1SG may also be applied as a spot treatment to catch basins and similar areas where mosquitoes breed.
Application
Spread the Abate® 1SG granules evenly across the surface of the water to be treated at the recommended rates below:
| Type of water to be treated | Dosage rate |
| Small drinking water containers or cisterns | Apply 1g per 10 liters of contained water (equivalent to 1mg active ingredient per liter or 1ppm) |
Clean water i.e. standing water, shallow ponds, lakes, woodland pools | Apply 0.5-1g per 1m² (or 5-10kg per hectare) |
Moderately polluted water i.e. tidal waters, marshes, swamps | Apply 1-2g per 1m² (or 10-20kg per hectare) |
Highly polluted water i.e drains, cesspits and other water with high organic matter content | Apply 2-5g per 1m² (or 20-50kg per hectare) |
Note: The dosage may be varied within recommended rates depending on the depth of water, organic matter content, and amount of vegetation.
Packaging
100g per sachet
