APSA-80* is a ‘Performance Maximizer” which improves pesticide coverage for greater crop yield

APSA80* is an all purpose spray adjuvant that is mixed with pesticides (insecticides, fungicides and post-emergent herbicides) to control insects, disease and weeds. When mixed in the pesticide and water solution, APSA-80 increases the effectiveness of pesticides leading to an increase in crop yields.
APSA - 80 contains surfactants which break down the surface tension of the water based solution thus increasing the wettability of the leaf surface and cause the pesticides spray to spread more evenly over crops. This improves the coverage of the pesticide leading it to stay on the leaf. It also helps pesticides to penetrate the surface of the leaf faster, deeper and more evenly.
It is available in a concentrated formula that includes 80 % active ingredients. This high level of active ingredients means that a grower can cover a growing area more economically and more efficiently. The combination of concentrated formula and improved pesticide performance makes APSA-80 an excellent investment for growers seeking better yields.
APSA-80 can be used on variety of crops/ fruits/vegetables. Some of them on which APSA-80 has been tested and proven to be effective when used on are: FIELD CROPS:Tea, Coffee,Pepper, Rice. Soyabeans, Corn and Wheat FRUITS: Orange, Apple, Grapes, Peaches, Mangoes, Pears, Bananas and Tomatoes VEGETABLES: Cabbage, Carrots, Pea Pods, Spinach, Peppers and Cauliflower.
