SYN-A is a synergist derived from extracts of olive oil that inhibit the metabolic enzymes that degrade insecticides.
About
ApresLabs is dedicated to using natural syenrgists to reduce insecticidal aplication.
Key Benefits
SYN-A allows a reduction of (typically) 5-fold in the amount of insecticide needed to give equal efficacy to full dose. It can be used to overcome resistance and/ or reduce insecticide application.
Applications
Ultimately, the target market is, of course, the farmer (grower). Route would be expected to be through an agrochemical concern, but this is proving difficult due to either registration costs or reluctance to reduce insecticidal output.
