Banka is a special 100% blend of alkyl pyrrolidones and polymers - chemistry previously only used in pesticide formulations. This blend gives it STICKING, SPREADING and PENETRATIVE properties to assist the performance of both contact and systemic potato blight sprays. IMPORTANTLY this 'micro-emulsion' technology means that Banka will NOT block nozzles or pumps. KEY BENEFITS OF USING BANKA Banka when tank mixed with the Potato Blight fungicide will: improve retention of the fungicide, ensuring that your spray is rainfast; improve spreading, ensuring greater deposition on the leaf surface; allow better penetration, thereby improving uptake of the fungicide into the plant; ensure maximum performance of your sprays especially under catchy conditions or if your crop has to be irrigated; have no adverse effect on fungicide residue levels, thereby ensuring that your crop is able to meet exacting quality assurance schemes.
