PRECISE
How PRECISE Works:
Understanding advanced plant pest protection technology

Granular PRECISE Acephate uses the same durable, polymer coating technology that makes POLYON controlled-release fertilizer so popular and effective. A special ultra-thin layer on each granule slowly lets moisture in and then gradually, consistently releases active ingredients into the soil for months.

PRECISE Granule

PRECISE works through temperature-controlled diffusion.
This type of release is predictable because it's affected only by temperature and not moisture levels, so excess rain won't reduce the chemical's long-lasting activity. The key to the consistent, gradual release of granular PRECISE Acephate is all in the superior, polymer membrane that coats each granule.

PRECISE Graph
Week One: Moisture Absorption
Within a week of application, the polymer coating allows moisture in, which activates the encapsulated Acephate but doesn't release it right away.
Acephate Diffusion
Over the next several months, the membrane slowly releases dissolved Acephate, only when triggered by temperature.
After Complete Release: Polymer Decomposition
Following release of all of the Acephate, each granule's polymer coating microbially decomposes into naturally occurring soil elements.

ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS.
