To achieve maximum product efficacy, it is crucial to control water quality.
pH 5.5 – 6.5 (slightly acidic environment) is the "gold standard" for agrochemistry.
When using water with a pH of 6.1–7.0, the prepared solution should be applied immediately (storage no more than 1–2 hours), while the range of 3.5–6.0 is considered acceptable for use within 24 hours.
Most active ingredients are prone to alkaline hydrolysis: in water with a pH above 7.0, they begin to break down rapidly, losing up to 50% of their strength even before reaching the leaf.
Acidifying the water to the required level not only prevents precipitation in the tank mix but also significantly improves the penetration of the products through the plant's waxy coating, providing fast and full protection.
