“Young man, this pesticide formula works very well. The whiteflies died on the leaves!” a farmer from Chiku, Kelantan, exclaimed.

Mr. Wong, a farmer from Kelantan, used the recommended formula of Spinosad 2.38SC at 20ml mixed with Lakota at 10ml per 20 litres of water. The main target was whiteflies on bitter gourd. After Advansia’s technical team recommended increasing the water volume to 1,000 litres per acre, Mr. Wong shared that after using the formula, the whiteflies were no longer active on the leaves. He was also very happy to tell the farmers that the whiteflies had died on the leaves.

Improving the Adjuvant Effect of Insecticides and Miticides

Advansia Seeds & Biotech introduced a new natural wintergreen essential oil mixed-extract adjuvant — Lakota. When used together with pesticides, Lakota can significantly improve the effectiveness of insecticides and miticides.

Lakota interferes with the nervous and respiratory systems of pests, causing their original defence mechanisms to lose function. It widely enhances insecticidal and miticidal effects, showing excellent control results against whiteflies, thrips, mites, and scale insects.

It is especially suitable for orchard spraying, ensuring that pesticide active ingredients quickly enter the pest body while strengthening the spread and coverage of the solution on plant surfaces.

In the case of general adjuvants, farmers may sometimes see that the spray only lands on the pest or only on the leaf surface, without fully covering both. As a result, the pesticide becomes less effective, increasing cost. In fact, the surfaces of insects and mites are similar to smooth raincoats, making it difficult for water-based pesticides to penetrate and cover properly.

By using Lakota’s natural strengthening adjuvant function, it can increase the coverage range, save water, and help reduce cost.

Overall, Lakota is not a pesticide, but a green and environmentally friendly pest control adjuvant.
