APSA-80® and Nutriplant® AG in California
Supporting California growers, PCAs, and turf managers with nonionic spray adjuvants, soil wetting solutions, and foliar micronutrient applications tailored to state growing conditions.
Quick Answer
APSA-80® is fully registered and available across California as an agricultural spray adjuvant and soil wetting agent. California growers use APSA-80® to improve spray droplet spreading on waxy foliage, enhance soil water penetration, and reduce surface runoff under high water and energy costs.
In our experience working with California agricultural operations, the most effective way to evaluate APSA-80® or Nutriplant® AG is through a controlled side-by-side field demonstration on your own acreage before ordering bulk totes or 30-gallon drums.
Serving California Agricultural Regions From Central Valley to Coastal Valleys
California agricultural production faces unique pressures: strict water regulations, high irrigation energy costs, hard water chemistry, and intensive cropping schedules. What we've seen on California farms is that even small improvements in water infiltration or spray coverage can translate into significant cost savings per acre.
Whether you manage tree nuts in the San Joaquin Valley, leafy greens in the Salinas Valley, wine grapes on the Central Coast, or golf courses in Southern California, APSA-80® and Nutriplant® AG offer practical, research-backed tools.
California's water costs and regulatory pressure mean every acre-inch must work harder than in most other growing regions.
What we've seen is that growers who test APSA-80® on a small block first can measure real infiltration differences before scaling up.
California Agricultural Support by Region
Tree nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts), citrus, stone fruit, processing tomatoes, and row crops. APSA-80® supports deep root-zone water penetration through clay and hardpan soils.
Wine grapes, strawberries, leafy greens, and specialty vegetables. APSA-80® improves wetting on waxy leaves during high-frequency crop protection sprays.
Imperial Valley forage crops, winter vegetables, and citrus. APSA-80® helps irrigation water penetrate saline or hydrophobic soils under extreme heat.
Southern California and Bay Area turf facilities. Helps superintendents manage localized dry spots and reduce irrigation run times.
California Product Selection Guide
| California Challenge | Recommended Solution | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Irrigation runoff on clay / compacted soil | APSA-80® Soil Irrigation Aid | Reduces surface tension; increases soil water penetration |
| Spray droplet beading on waxy leaves | APSA-80® Nonionic Surfactant | Spreads droplets evenly across leaf surfaces |
| Crop micronutrient demand at bloom/fruiting | Nutriplant® AG Foliar Micronutrients | Delivers iron, molybdenum, and key nutrients through foliage |
| Localized dry spots on golf greens & turf | APSA-80® Turf Wetting Agent | Improves moisture uniform distribution in hydrophobic soil |
Important Note for California Pesticide Applications
Always verify that the pesticide label permits or requires an adjuvant before adding APSA-80®. Follow California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) rules and county agricultural commissioner requirements. Read the Amway manufacturer standards and label directions thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are APSA-80® and Nutriplant® AG available in California?
APSA-80® and Nutriplant® AG are available throughout California through authorized Amway Independent Business Owners. We serve agricultural regions across the Central Valley, Central Coast, Imperial Valley, Northern California, and Southern California.
Is APSA-80® registered for agricultural use in California?
Yes. APSA-80® is labeled and approved for agricultural crop, turf, and ornamental applications in California. Always review the California specimen label for specific state requirements and permitted uses.
How do California growers evaluate APSA-80® or Nutriplant® AG before ordering in volume?
In our experience, most California growers begin with a side-by-side field demonstration on a limited acreage (e.g., 20–50 acres or 1–2 irrigation blocks) to evaluate water penetration, spray coverage, or crop response under local soil and water conditions.
Can APSA-80® be used with irrigation systems common in California?
Yes. APSA-80® can be applied through drip, micro-sprinkler, center pivot, flood, or furrow irrigation systems as well as standard ground sprayers. Always follow label directions for irrigation injection and backflow prevention.
How do I request a product consultation or California field demonstration?
You can submit a demonstration request online or contact an Orange County distributor representative. Provide your crop, acreage, location, irrigation method, and target application date to arrange product delivery and demonstration protocols.
