On April 14, 2026, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), recognized as one of the Fortune Global 500 companies and a Maharatna PSU, unveiled a new product, MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL. This cutting-edge agricultural adjuvant spray oil is crafted to enhance the efficiency of pesticides and promote sustainable agricultural practices for various crops and fruits.
In the backdrop of escalating food requirements, fluctuating climate conditions, and heightened sustainability goals in Indian agriculture, the importance of effective crop protection is increasingly emphasized. Research shows that a significant portion, between 30% and 70%, of agricultural sprays are wasted due to factors like drift, runoff, and poor leaf coverage, which not only raises costs but also contributes to uneven pest management and raises environmental concerns.
MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL comes as a solution to these issues, serving as a performance booster within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) frameworks. Leveraging patented technology, the product enhances wetting, spreading, adhesion, penetration, and resistance to washing off by rain, thereby ensuring that agrochemicals reach their maximum potential without the need to increase the quantity of chemicals used.
The adjuvant has been rigorously tested in various crops and climatic conditions in partnership with top agricultural institutes. These tests have confirmed that the product not only boosts the efficiency of spraying but also significantly improves pest control, with no harm to the plants. Some of the notable results include a 36% increase in banana yields and a 68% reduction in leaf spot disease, a 20% yield enhancement in tea production coupled with a 30% increase in pesticide effectiveness, and notable improvements in pest control in citrus and cotton cultivation, among others.
Furthermore, MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, non-toxic to plants, and harmless to beneficial fauna, making it an ideal choice for organic farming and supporting the preservation of ecological balance. It also meets NSF certification standards, which underscores its commitment to quality and safety.
With agriculture moving towards more precise and efficient methods, MAK ADJOL AGRI UNIVERSAL represents a forward-thinking approach to farming that optimizes input use and minimizes environmental footprint. The product is recommended at dosages ranging from 0.25% to 1%, varying by crop type and specific application needs, positioning itself as a versatile tool in the advancement of sustainable agriculture.
