Paushak SUPER induces more lateral bud development, delays of senescence (aging), encourages fruit
formation.
Grapes grown are treated with Paushak SUPER to increase size and decrease pickings.
Paushak SUPER besides three important plant hormones contains other compounds that help plants to grow
and develop yield. Auxin increases the plasticity of plant cell walls and stem elongation. Auxin promotes
activity of the vascular cambium and vascular tissues and therefore crop grows luxuriantly and it plays key
role in fruit development also.
Crops under normal growing conditions achieve only 30-40% of their genetic potential. Low or high
moisture levels, temperature variations, soil imbalance and nutritional deficiencies contribute to plant stress
and result in low crop yields. Natural substances such as those found in Paushak SUPER help to control
and regulate germination, root development, nutrition uptake, plant tissue composition, tillering, flowering
and seed and fruit set.
Paushak SUPER has been proven to effectively relieve stress, provide a more vigorous and healthy plant,
which increases yields and profits.
Plants progress through a cycle of growth stages. Using the example of wheat, the plant starts out as a seed,
germinates, goes through the seedling stage, through the three, five and seven leaf stages, and finally forms
a head and producing new seeds. Under stress of growth, reduced levels of growth substances are produced.
If this reduction occurs at certain key stages of growth such as the tillering stage, yields can be affected. By
30
making available extra hormone to the plant at these stages, Paushak SUPER can influence the crops final
yield.
Dosage and use Paushak SUPER
Timing application is essential. Paushak SUPER stimulates crop growth. If the plant is forming roots, more
root growth; if tillering, more tillers, if stem growth, more progress of crop growth and branches; and if
flowering, more flowering progress.
Paushak SUPER is also used as a seed treatment because it contains certain hormones which can help
promote early seedling vigor, and up to 40% increase in root mass. More root mass leads to a healthier and
a more vigorous plant.
Extensive field testing has shown the benefits in using Paushak SUPER in many crops as follows:
In vegetable crops, a minimum of four rounds of applications with Paushak SUPER application at 10 days
after sowing or planting and 2 days after every plucking of fruits.
When crop undergoes drought, immediately spray Paushak SUPER at every week or at 10 days interval to
help crop plants to overcome drought stress.

Agricultural spray adjuvant technology has increased awareness and advantages of no-ionic surfactant as an
activator and modifier of spray and its utility to provide higher economic benefits to farmers. This is especially
important to counter increasing temperature, declining generic chemistry of product development leading a few
molecules to dominate crop protection.
Adjuvants when used in the manufacture of fuel additives, cleaner, agrochemicals, rain-guards, lubricating fluids or
polymers are versatile chemical solution capable of pushing formulations further ahead in performance and give
higher economic returns.
An adjuvant is a chemical added to the pesticide formulation or tank mix to increase the safety or efficacy of a
pesticide. Organo-silocone surfactants as adjuvants offer virtually unlimited capabilities and applicability to many
crops.
Adjuvants effect ingenious transformations through synergy, attraction, repulsion and molecular interaction and rain
fastening with organosilicone adjuvant.
Adjuvants help sprayed product movement on the surface to spread, diffuse in cuticle and accumulate in
epidermal cells.
It aids pesticides in the retention, wetting, spreading, coverage, rainfastness, penetration and translocation.
It is most effective as a tank mix adjuvant when used within 24 hours of preparation of the spray fluid.

General Information
Mode of Action (MoA)
Resistance to pesticide as defined as a heritable change in the sensitivity of a pest population that is reflected in the
repeated failure of a product to achieve the expected level of control when used according to the label
recommendation for that pest species. Resistance arises through the over-use or misuse of plant protection chemicals
against a pest species and results from the selection of resistant forms of the pest and the consequent evolution of
populations that are resistant to that pesticide.
In the majority of cases, not only does resistance render the selecting compound ineffective, but it often also confers
cross-resistance to other chemically related compounds. It is common for resistance to develop that is based on a
genetic modification of this target site. When this happens, the interaction of the selecting compound with its target
site is impaired and the compound loses its efficacy. Because all compounds within the chemical sub-group share
common target site within the pest and a common MoA, there is a high risk that the resistance that has developed
will automatically confer cross resistance to all compounds in the same sub-group. It is this concept of cross
resistance within a family of chemically related insecticide or acaricide that is the basis of the IRAC MoA
classification.
Successive generations of the insect pest, bacterial or fungal pathogen or weed should not be treated with
compounds from the same MoA group. It is our aim to ensure that pesticide users are aware of MoA groups and that
they have a sound basis on which to implement season-long, sustainable resistance management through the
effective use of alternations, sequences or rotations of pesticides with different modes of action. To help delay
resistance, it is strongly recommended that farmers also integrate other control methods into insect or mite control
programs.
In this book, MoA of insecticide according to Insecticides Resistance Action Committee (IRAC), MoA of
bactericides and fungicides according to Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) and MoA of herbicides
according to the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) are described.

Effective spraying
A cost effective pest control can be achieved, when the pest population reaches an Economic Threshold Level (ETL)
and product of right mode of action of the pesticide is used. Satisfactory control is dependent on the choice of
product and equipment used for their applications which influence factors such as compatibility, solubility, stability,
foaming, suspension, time of application, surface tension, droplet size, drift, volatilization, coverage, adherence and
penetration.
Water often comprises ninety-five percent (or more) of the spray solution. The quality of water used for spraying can
affect how pesticides perform. As a rule, most crop protection chemicals work best in a slightly acidic solution.
Water used for spraying is frequently alkaline. This may dramatically shorten effective half-lives of many crop
protection chemicals. Acidifying spray solutions will make pesticide more effective. A safe pH for a spray solution is
4.5 - 7.0, with the best pH reading in the 5.0 - 6.0 range.
A pesticide is 100 percent effective when first added to the spray tank and has a half-life of 30 minutes; the
effectiveness is cut in half every 30 minutes, becoming essentially worthless after 60 minutes. In general, the loss in
effectiveness is due to hydrolysis; and the rate of hydrolysis is determined by pH, the chemistry of the pesticide,
time of exposure in the spray tank, and the temperature of the spray water.
The ability of water to dissolve or suspend materials is influenced by the order of introduction of pesticide products
into the spray tank. Chemicals may not mix properly, causing poor product performance, clogged nozzles, product
separation, adverse changes in pH and reduced solubility. Pesticide products work best when all components of the
spray mixture are compatible and when they are added to the tank in the proper sequence. Always consult product
labels for the preferred order of introduction into the tank. Generally, you should add water into a clean tank, and
then add pesticides in the following order: Wettable powders (WP) and dry flowables (DF); Suspension concentrates
(SC); Water dispersible granules (WDG); Water soluble powders (WS) and granules (WG); Emulsifiable
concentrates (EC), Emulsion, oil in water (EW); and Wetting agents-Adjuvants.
In most cases, agitation within the tank is necessary during mixing and to aid dispersal and effective mixing of
formulation. When in doubt, use the "jar" method described below to make sure the products are compatible.
40
Remember - a compatibility test will only reveal physical incompatibility between products in a tank mix - they will
not reveal any other form of antagonism, such as products inactivating one another, or the potential for
phytotoxicity. The only way to know for sure is to apply the mix to a few test plants and keep an eye on them over
the season. Always wear personal protective equipment and do it in a safe and ventilated area, away from sources of
ignition.
Jar test for compatibility
Mix proportionate amounts of all products: 1) Fill jar full with water or carrier (#500 ml); 2) Add products each at
recommended dosage per litre, one at a time in proper order ; 3)Shake jar after each addition and see what happens;
4)Allow jar to stand for 10-15 minutes; 5: Products are not compatible if have a precipitate, heat is given off, or
products separate into layers
