Protects plants in three ways, promoting higher yields and the harvest of more marketable fruits and vegetables. First, the calcined kaolin particle film in SURROUND protects fruit against direct sunburn and heat-stress damage. Can reduce sunburn losses by up to 50%. Second, it keeps plant canopies cooler, leading to more efficient photosynthesis and higher yields in high-light, high-heat environments. Lastly, carefully timed treatments of SURROUND reduce the activity of certain insect pests, delaying or even eliminating the need to apply conventional insecticides. Certain insects that vector harmful diseases, such as the Asian Citrus Psyllid that carries Citrus Greening (Huanglongbing or HLB) are inhibited from feeding (and spreading HLB) by the presence of SURROUND on leaf surfaces.This labeled and proven insect suppression capability is unmatched by any other sunscreen product.For organic growers, SURROUND's insect-suppressant properties provide an especially valuable tool for managing insect populations. Surround is certified for use in organic production systems in the USA and in Europe. Approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI).
