Description

• Surround forms a coating on fruits that prevents the harmful effects of sunlight, making it a cost-effective alternative to bagging in crops like mangoes and pomegranates.
• Surround allows the transmission of UV rays responsible for fruit coloring, providing good coloration while blocking harmful IR rays.
• Surround offers a protective cover for plants against many piercing-sucking insects, reducing the need for insecticides.
• Surround is used in organic farming and integrated pest management and is certified by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) in the USA as an insect protection agent.
• Surround is applied to grapevines after harvest to protect against intense heat in southern Egypt during summer storage feeding.
• Surround effectively protects vegetables that are washed or peeled from sunburn, such as watermelon, melon, cantaloupe, cucumber, tomato, and eggplant.
• Surround coverage on leaves during vegetative growth allows for photosynthesis in high temperatures, which is beneficial for tomatoes.
• Surround helps maintain seedling growth in nurseries during high summer temperatures, especially in Upper Egypt.
• Surround is compatible with many insecticides, fungicides, and foliar nutrients, but a mixing test is recommended to ensure compatibility.
• Surround should be dissolved in water first and added to the sprayer tank before adding the pesticide or nutrient, with continuous stirring during spraying.
