APSA – 80 improves apple crops: SKUAST study
Jammu, January 21, (Scoop News)- APSA – 80, the wonder agri-product from Amway proved its superiority yet again in a recent study done by Sher–e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST), J&K. The Study done on Apple Crop, one of the key produces of J&K, Himachal Pradesh; showed extremely great results on most commonly reported infects like Wooly Aphid, Stem Borer & Powdery Mildew.
The Study confirmed that use of APSA – 80 ensures drastic redction in the reported infects. The key findings of the Study done by the university established a 25% better control on ‘Wooly Aphid’, 79% on ‘Stem Borer’ when APSA was mixed with pesticide as compared to pesticide alone. Also APSA – 80 showed 6% better results on ‘Powdery Mildew’ when APSA was mixed with fungicide as compared to fungicide alone. APSA – 80 is an All Purpose Spray Adjuvant which on mixing with insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and defoliators increases their efficacy.
As a result of that, the crops, fruits and vegetables are better protected from diseases, pests and unwanted herbs, resulting in better yield. This adjuvant has 80% of active ingredients and this can be mixed in any solution to improve its performance many times.
APSA-80 contains special ingredients – “Non Ironic Surfactants” that break down the surface tension of the water. These surfactants work on the surface of the water droplet to reduce its tendency to bead up by pulling the water and the wax on the leaf surface together, reducing the water’s surface tension and causing the water droplet to spread out. When the water used in pesticide sprays spreads out more evenly, the result is much better pesticide coverage. Adding APSA-80 helps insecticides, defoliators and foliar fertilizers to penetrate the surface of the leaf faster and more evenly.
APSA-80 helps water penetrate and spread better on the fields. It also helps reduce losses due to apportion and run-off giving better utilization of scare water. Institutes like Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore have conducted tests on crops like Mangoes, Grapes, Pomegranate, and have certified the use of APSA-80 on these crops for better yields. Jawahar Lal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur also did a similar study on wheat showing wonderful results.
