- Captain 20 CS is a highly efficient pH regulator and spray water enhancer, developed to improve the quality of agricultural spray solutions and increase the effectiveness of pesticides and foliar fertilizers on various crops. The product lowers and regulates the pH of spray water, helping to maintain the stability of active ingredients and minimize their breakdown within the spray tank, especially when using alkaline or well water. It also possesses diffusing and wetting properties that improve spray dispersion on plant surfaces, increasing coverage and adhesion, and enhancing absorption, thus maximizing the benefits of pest control and foliar feeding programs. The product contains phosphorus and potassium to support plant vitality and improve the efficiency of spraying and fertilization processes.
Product Features
- It helps to reduce and regulate the pH of spray water, thus maintaining the efficiency and stability of pesticides and fertilizers inside the spray tank.
- It reduces the alkaline breakdown of active ingredients and helps to increase the effectiveness of pesticides and improve control results.
- It acts as a spreading and wetting agent that contributes to improving spray dispersion and increasing coverage of plant surfaces.
- It improves the adhesion of the spray solution to the leaves and reduces droplet loss due to slippage or volatilization.
- It helps to increase the absorption of pesticides and foliar fertilizers and improve their translocation efficiency within the plant.
- It improves the quality of well water and alkaline water and increases the efficiency of spraying and foliar feeding programs.
- It contains phosphorus and potassium to support the vital activity of the plant during different stages of growth.
- Suitable for use with most foliar pest control and fertilization programs in vegetables, trees and field crops.
