Servo Agrospray S is a base mineral oil of paraffin type, This type of oil is used for pest and insect control so that the plants have a healthy production. It easily mixes with water to form a milky white emulsion. This emulsion is then sprayed on leaves of the plants. The oil is completely biodegradable and does not form any toxic substances. The emulsion which has been sprayed can get as deep as in the cracks of the plants where eggs and pests could be present, It kills them by dissolving their outer shell. A small think layer of the oil is formed on the leaves and flowers of the plants which kill any live insect by suffocation. Pests like Mustard aphid, Jassid and Looper Caterpillars are few of many which it kills. Farmers are given advice that they should spray 3 to 4 times a week and use 500 liters of emulsion over a hectare of land. This Lubricant is recommended by NRC for Mustard. Thus a productive crop would be achieved by using this oil in a proper and efficient way. Farmers need to be given knowledge about the working of this oil, since farmers are very skeptical about using this emulsion on their crops.
