AMPx technology allows us to re ne these plant-based oils, the building blocks of our pesticide line, to the highest level of purity in the industry. The AMPx process then micronizes these highly puri ed, highly concentrated extracts and reduces them into an ultra ne micron designed for optimal performance. The AMPx process results in products that are highly “bio-available” and “target-speci c”, delivering more activity with fewer total active ingredients.
