The Kaya Farm JADAM Wetting Agent (JWA), a versatile surfactant/emulsifier widely recognized for its efficacy in pest control. This natural and biodegradable soft soap is derived from the potassium salts of fatty acids, a result of the saponification process involving canola oil and potassium hydroxide (KOH).

Soft soaps, like JWA, have stood the test of time, having been employed for centuries due to their simplicity in production, eco-friendly nature, harm to pests, and ease of decomposition by microbes, ultimately transforming into valuable nutrients for plants.

The mechanism of wetting agents involves direct interaction with pests, where the fatty acids infiltrate their bodies, disrupting cell membranes and leading to dehydration and eventual demise. JADAM Wetting Agent proves effective against a myriad of issues, including aphids, mealybugs, mites, leafhoppers, scale insects, caterpillars, thrips, whitefly, powdery mildew, and more.

While utilizing this powerful tool, it's important to exercise caution. Refrain from spraying on sunny days to prevent burns. Additionally, avoid using it on sensitive plants like sweet peas, nasturtiums, delicate ferns, and exercise care when applying to seedlings, transplants, and flowers. Prioritize a patch test if concerns arise about plant sensitivity. Notably, JADAM Wetting Agent carries no expiry date, ensuring its longevity and consistent efficacy.
