“The establishment of Screen Duo and CropXtra as frontline management tools has been a game changer for tree fruit growers in recent years” said Stewart Frankling of Sipcam Australia.
“Growers who are targeting improved productivity with better fruit sizing and finish, have found these products to be the ideal program over the summer months”.
Program: Screen Duo & CropXtra
Two applications of Screen DUO will give the leaves of the tree a reflective coating of kaolin to keep the tree cooler and reflect harmful UV rays.
A program application of CropXtra can then be implemented to allow ongoing heat stress mitigation without the issue of residue on finished fruit.
CropXtra is a clear compound which leaves no residue. It triggers an enzymatic response within the plant to allow it to tolerate increased levels of abiotic stress. It is compatible with all other crop inputs so can be applied in conjunction with your normal spray program.
