Minimise sunburn in orchards

Prepare for the extreme heat this summer

Last season, high temperatures and UV radiation caused serious crop damage and losses in most horticultural areas.
With the Bureau of Meteorology predicting close to a 50% chance of warmer than average temperatures from November to January across the country, it is essential to be prepared this summer and plan to use Surround® Crop Protectant.

Surround reduces sunburn and heat stress damage when applied to orchards and other horticultural crops.
It has been proven over many years to not only increase yields, but also increase quality.
Surround reduces sunburn damage by decreasing light levels, temperature and UV radiation at the fruit surface. At the same time, Surround lowers the canopy temperature, reducing heat and water stress.
Heat stress can shut down the photosynthetic process in the plant but Surround protects the plant, enabling it to thrive.
Engineered for maximum protection
Surround is made from natural kaolin, refined and engineered to provide an optimum formulation for maximum protection against sunburn and heat stress.
The unique production process for Surround includes a step known as calcining, whereby the kaolin is heated to alter the crystal shape to a highly reflective, 3-dimensional structure.
Only Surround contains this calcined kaolin, providing superior reflection of harmful radiation compared to hydrous kaolin and calcium carbonate.
So prepare for the heat this summer with Surround. Protection you can see. Performance you can trust.
