Multiplex Nagastha-180 is a concentrated non-ionic agricultural spray adjuvant that works as a wetting, spreading and penetrating agent. It helps compatible spray solutions distribute more uniformly over treated plant surfaces, supporting improved contact and coverage.
Nagastha-180 can be used with label-compatible nutrients, insecticides, fungicides and post-emergence herbicides. It also has a separate irrigation application that helps improve soil wetting and water-holding behaviour when used according to the manufacturer's recommendation.

Technical note: The official Multiplex product page identifies Nagastha-180 as a non-ionic spray adjuvant concentrate but does not describe it as silicon-based or specify a silicon concentration. Therefore, silicon-based claims should only be added if they are printed on the current physical product label.
| Crop Group | Example Crops | Suitable Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetable crops | Tomato, chilli, brinjal, okra and cucurbits | Compatible insecticide, fungicide and foliar nutrient sprays |
| Fruit crops | Mango, banana, grapes, pomegranate and citrus | Compatible crop-protection and foliar nutrition sprays |
| Field crops | Paddy, wheat, maize, cotton and sugarcane | Compatible pesticides, foliar nutrients and post-emergence herbicides |
| Pulses and oilseeds | Red gram, green gram, soybean and groundnut | Compatible foliar crop-protection and nutrition sprays |
| Plantation crops | Coconut, tea, coffee and arecanut | Sprays requiring improved wetting and canopy coverage |
| Horticultural crops | Flowers, fruits and other label-approved crops | Compatible foliar spray applications |
Nagastha-180 can be used in all crops where foliar spray is carried out. The main pesticide, herbicide, fungicide or fertilizer must still be registered and recommended for the selected crop.
| Spray Input | Role of Nagastha-180 |
|---|---|
| Insecticide | Supports uniform spray deposition on pest-active crop surfaces |
| Fungicide | Helps improve wetting and coverage of treated foliage |
| Post-emergence herbicide | Supports spreading and penetration on target weed foliage |
| Micronutrient | Helps prepared nutrient spray contact a larger leaf area |
| Foliar fertilizer | Supports uniform deposition of the prepared nutrient solution |
| Application Type | Recommended Dose | Application Method |
|---|---|---|
| General foliar spray | 0.4–0.5 ml per litre of prepared spray solution | Add to a properly prepared and compatible spray mixture |
| 15-litre spray pump | 6–7.5 ml | Based on the official foliar dose |
| 16-litre spray pump | 6.4–8 ml | Based on the official foliar dose |
| 200-litre spray solution | 80–100 ml | Adjust quantity according to the actual final spray volume |
| Use before irrigation | 160 ml in 100 litres of water per acre | Wet the ground with the prepared solution before irrigation |
Dose note: Do not calculate the foliar dose only by land area. Nagastha-180's foliar recommendation is based on the final spray-water volume: 0.4–0.5 ml per litre. Its separate soil-use recommendation is 160 ml in 100 litres of water per acre before irrigation.
Nagastha-180 modifies the wetting behaviour of the prepared spray solution. This helps droplets spread over a larger area and form a more uniform deposit instead of remaining as rounded droplets on the plant surface.
Improved wetting and spreading support the contact and penetration of the accompanying input. Nagastha-180 is an adjuvant and does not independently control insects, diseases or weeds, nor does it replace the recommended pesticide or fertilizer dose.
| Crop Stage | Potential Application |
|---|---|
| Seedling stage | Supports uniform application of compatible sprays on young plants |
| Vegetative stage | Improves coverage of foliar nutrients and crop-protection sprays |
| Pre-flowering stage | Supports uniform deposition of label-approved spray inputs |
| Flowering and fruiting stages | May accompany crop-safe sprays while label and pollinator precautions are followed |
| Post-emergence weed stage | Supports target-weed coverage when permitted by the herbicide label |
| Before irrigation | Used through its separate soil-wetting application method |
Multiplex Nagastha-180 is a concentrated non-ionic spray adjuvant that works as a wetting, spreading and penetrating agent with compatible agricultural sprays.
The official foliar dose is 0.4–0.5 ml per litre of prepared spray solution. This equals 6–7.5 ml for a 15-litre spray pump.
Dilute 160 ml of Nagastha-180 in 100 litres of water for one acre and wet the ground with the solution before irrigation.
It can be used with compatible insecticides and fungicides to support uniform coverage. Always follow both product labels and conduct a jar test before mixing unfamiliar products.
Yes, the manufacturer recommends it with compatible post-emergence herbicides. Use it only when the herbicide label permits an adjuvant and protect neighbouring crops from spray drift.
No. It is a spray adjuvant and does not independently kill insects, pathogens or weeds. It supports the physical performance of the accompanying spray solution.
The current official Multiplex page describes it as a non-ionic spray adjuvant concentrate but does not state a silicon concentration. Add a silicon-based claim only if it is printed on the current physical product label.
Prepare and dilute the main spray input according to its label, then add Nagastha-180 gradually with gentle agitation. If the tank-mix partner specifies a different mixing sequence, follow that product's label.
The manufacturer states that its irrigation use supports improved soil water-holding capacity. Actual performance can vary with soil type, organic matter, compaction, irrigation method and field conditions.
Disclaimer: The details provided are for informational guidance only. Always adhere to the recommended mixing, application and safety instructions stated on the product label and the labels of all accompanying spray products.
