PRODUCT USE 

Caolino SURROUND WP is recommended for crop protection during the hottest and sunniest periods, when fruits and vegetation are most exposed to heat stress, excessive radiation, and sunburn.
The product deposits a protective mineral film that must be kept uniform and continuous throughout the risk period.
It is suitable for numerous crops, including pome fruits, stone fruits, grapevines, and other species vulnerable to heat and sun damage.
The characteristic milky white coloration after application is normal and indicates proper coverage of the vegetation.
When this coverage begins to diminish, retreatment may be necessary.

APPLICATION METHOD 

It is recommended to use Caolino SURROUND WP at a concentration between 2.5 and 5 kg per 100 liters of water.
The first two applications should preferably be carried out at the maximum concentration of 5 kg/100 L, while for subsequent treatments it is possible to reduce to 2.5 kg/100 L, depending on the residual coverage of the crop.
For proper mixture preparation, slowly add the powder to the water in a sprayer equipped with an agitator or active recirculation system, keeping the mixture constantly agitated throughout the entire application.
It is important to avoid rapid addition of the product near the pump intake to prevent clogging.
The distribution volume varies depending on the crop and leaf mass: about 1000 L/ha for trees 3-4 meters tall; about 250-500 L/ha for smaller crops, such as grapevines.
For complete coverage, at least two applications are recommended.
In case of heavy rain, new growth, or erosion caused by wind, it may be necessary to restore the protective film as soon as the foliage is dry.
Do not apply on very wet leaves.
During handling and application, the use of personal protective equipment such as dust masks, dust respirators, and protective goggles is recommended
