6. “Qualities of SILICONE”
• Inertness – non reactive with most materials
• Thermostability- more flow able at low temp and do not break
at high temp
• Microbial resistance- does not allow growth of microbes.
• Reduces Interfacial tension - better than Carbon.
• Anti foaming- Reduces foaming
• High elasticity, pliability & versatile-Fast Action
• Ultraviolet Resistance – Resistant to hard environmental
conditions

13. Benefits of Aasra
1. Super spreading: Aasra solution spreads quickly, and
improves efficacy of agrochemical by providing enhanced
spreading on the leaf surfaces.
2. Super Sticking: It has improved deposition of the agro
product which enhances its retention on foliage.
3. Promote Rain fastness: it ensures the solution doesn't
wash o ffeven after immediate rain.
14. 4. Rapid and quick uptake: It is designed in such a way
that it ensures proper wetting of leaf surface, which
makes agrochemical uptake and absorption rapidly by
the plant.
5. Penetration: It ensures the proper penetration of the
agrochemical product into the plant by reducing the
droplet sizes of the spray.
6. Thermostability: Reduces Impact of temperature
variation and keeps the pesticide active even at low
temperature.

22. Benefits of Stomatal Infiltration
•Promotes rapid uptake of agrochemicals into
target weeds.
•Makes spray application more reliable.
•Reduces the rain-free period for spray
applications
