Designed for sustainable farming, MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL acts as a high-performance adjuvant within IPM systems


Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has launched MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL, a sustainable, biodegradable spray adjuvant designed to improve pesticide efficiency, boost crop yields, and support eco-friendly farming practices. This innovative oil optimizes spray performance across various crops, reducing chemical waste.

As Indian agriculture faces the dual pressures of rising food demand and climate volatility, optimizing crop protection is critical. With studies showing 30–70% of applied inputs wasted via drift, evaporation, and poor coverage, the sector struggles with higher costs, inconsistent protection, and environmental risks.

Designed for sustainable farming, MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL acts as a high-performance adjuvant within IPM systems. It improves spray wetting, spreading, and rainfastness, allowing farmers to achieve superior pest control with lower chemical input.

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.
