Tocklai Tea Research Institute in Jorhat, Assam has developed a product, MAX Adjol Tea, designed to enhance the efficacy of pesticides used in tea cultivation. The product aims to mitigate the impact of climate change, which has led to increased pest attacks on tea plants due to rising temperatures and altered weather patterns.
The new product, developed in collaboration with the Bharat Petroleum Cooperation Limited (BPCL), and which has already been patented, is an adjuvant that improves the performance of existing pesticides by more than 30 per cent. This significantly boosts pest control efforts, particularly against pests that have developed resistance to currently approved chemicals under the Plant Protection Code.
