The science

Mode of action

How Buffer Down works inside the plant and the soil.

Hydroxyl ion (OH⁻) neutralization
It neutralizes excess hydroxyl ions and carbonate/bicarbonate ions present in alkaline water or soil, resulting in a controlled decrease in pH.
Reduction of alkaline hydrolysis
By lowering spray solution pH, it prevents alkaline degradation of pH-sensitive pesticides, thereby preserving active ingredient stability.

Improved nutrient solubility
Lowering high pH conditions enhances the solubility and availability of micronutrients such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu).
Improves nutrient availability
Ensures essential nutrients remain soluble and accessible, preventing nutrient lockout in alkaline conditions.

In the field

5 reasons growers choose Buffer Down.

01
Improves agrochemical effectiveness
Creates favorable spray solution conditions that allow pesticides and foliar nutrients to perform at their optimum potential.
02
Reduces active ingredient loss
Helps preserve the strength of pH-sensitive agrochemicals, reduces problems like precipitation, clogging, and uneven spray output in tank-mixes.
03
Maintains optimal soil pH
Helps keep soil pH within the ideal range, supporting better root growth and nutrient absorption.
04
Improves nutrient availability
Supports gradual improvement of high-pH soils, improves nutrient uptake by creating a more favourable root-zone environment.
05
Residue-free & eco-friendly
It leaves no harmful residues, making it safe for crops, soil, and the environment.
