Mumbai : Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a Fortune Global 500 company and a Maharatna PSU, today introduced MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL, an advanced agricultural adjuvant spray oil designed to improve spray performance, optimize pesticide use, and support sustainable farming practices across range to crops and fruits.
At a time when Indian agriculture is navigating rising food demand, climate variability, and increasing sustainability expectations, efficient crop protection has become critical. Studies indicate that nearly 30–70% of sprayed inputs are lost due to drift, runoff, evaporation, and inadequate leaf coverage—leading to higher costs, inconsistent pest control, and environmental concerns.
MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL addresses these challenges by acting as a performance enhancer within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems. Developed using patented technology, it improves wetting, spreading, adhesion, penetration, and rainfastness, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of applied agrochemicals without increasing chemical dosage.
The product has undergone extensive field validation across diverse crops and agro-climatic zones in collaboration with leading agriculture institutions. Results demonstrate enhanced spray efficiency, improved pest control efficacy, and zero phytotoxicity, delivering tangible benefits for example but not limited:
• Banana: ~36% yield improvement; ~68% reduction in leaf spot disease
• Tea: Up to 20% yield increase; ~30% improvement in pesticide efficacy
• Citrus (Orange): Up to 20% improved efficacy against psylla; ~10% against aphids
• Cotton: ~10% yield improvement and efficacy enhancement
• Cardamom: ~20% reduction in pesticide usage; ~30% savings in water consumption
MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL is biodegradable, non-phytotoxic, and safe for beneficial organisms, aligning with sustainable agriculture goals while preserving ecological balance. The product is suitable for organic farming and NSF certified, reinforcing its quality and safety standards.
As agriculture increasingly shifts toward precision and efficiency, MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL offers a smarter, sustainability-driven solution—delivering better outcomes with optimized inputs and reduced environmental impact.
The recommended dosage ranges from 0.25% to 1%, depending on crop type and application requirements.
