What is APSA-80?
APSA-80, a product of Amway 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 vegetable are better protected from diseases, pests and unwanted herbs, resulting in more productive yield. This adjuvant has 80% of active ingredients and this can be mixed in any solution to improve its performance many times
Note : APSA-80 is neither an insecticide nor a fertiliser. It is an adjuvant that enhances the performances of insecticides and fertilisers and also helps water or solution to penetrate deeper.
How does APSA-80 work?
APSA - 80 contains special elements - ' 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 fertilisers to penetrate the surface of the leaf faster and more evenly.
How to Use APSA-80?
With Insecticides, Fungicides, Foliar Fertilisers and Defoliators:
Prepare a solution if insecticides / fungicides / foliar fertilisers / defoliators and water. Follow the mixing instructions recommended by the pesticide manufacturer.
Mix 5ml of APSA-80 ( 1 / 4th capful) per 15litres of pestcide or foliar fetiliser solution.
Spray normally on the crop
With Post - Emergent Herbicides :
Make a solution of the post-emergent hherbicide to be used with water in the spray tank. Follow the mixing instructions recommended by the herbicide manufacturer.
Mix 20ml of APSA - 80 (1 capful) per 15 litres of post emergent berbicide solution
Spray normally on the crop.
For use as an Irrigation Aid

    It is slow to absorb and transport the chemical at this time due to the little growth and movement of carbon and/or the nutrients from the leaves to the roots. Chemicals are more effective on actively growing milkweed. There are three chemicals that have been proven as effective on showy milkweed. These are, 1) amitrole (Amizole-T), 2) picloram (Tordon), and 3) glyphosate (Round-Up). Also, 2, 4-D may be mixed with picloram and glyphosate. Each one of these chemicals is better for different circumstances. Amitrole may be applied when the milkweed is 6-10 inches tall at 6 pounds of active ingredient per acre. Commercial use of this product is restricted, but it can be purchased in in different formulations for household use. This product is not registered for grazing or crop land usage. At the bud to early bloom stage of milkweed you may use picloram, a restricted use herbicide. This may be applied at a rate of 2 quarts per acre. Picloram may also be mixed with 2, 4-D if you reduce the amount of picloram used. Picloram is very toxic to broadleafed plants, may stay in the soil for over a year and can…

    Most people are not aware of what Rainbow Herbicides are and the purpose U.S. Government has to them. The U.S. Military sprayed over 19 million of a mixture of different Rainbow Herbicides during the “Operation Ranch Hand,”such as White, Blue, Pink, Green, Purple and Orange, though among them, Agent Orange was the most popular.[i] The principal purpose of Agent Orange was to expose enemy troops hidden in the jungles of Nam by killing its vegetation and making them go to open areas. It was sprayed over the jungles, and once the dioxin reached the forests of South Asia, they dry to death. This defoliant was developed during World War II at the University of Chicago, by Proffessor E.J. Kraus. He discovered that the growth of plants could be regulated through the infusion of hormones, though this procedure could kill vegetation by causing plants a sudden, uncontrolled growth. In other words, it was like giving the plants cancer.[ii]…
