Purshade® Solar Protectant: Advanced Protection for Healthier Crops and Higher Yields

Heat stress and sunburn caused by excessive temperatures and ultraviolet (UV) radiation can devastate crops, damaging up to 50% of yields and significantly reducing marketable produce. Purshade® Solar Protectant is a revolutionary solution designed to shield your crops from the harmful effects of solar stress, ensuring healthier plants, improved water use efficiency, and higher-quality yields.

Key Benefits:

• Protection from Sunburn: Purshade forms a protective film on plant surfaces, reflecting harmful UV and infrared (IR) radiation to prevent sunburn damage to fruits and foliage.

• Reduced Heat Stress: By reflecting heat-producing IR radiation, Purshade keeps plants cooler, allowing them to maintain optimal photosynthetic activity even during extreme temperatures.

• Improved Water Use Efficiency: Purshade helps plants use water more efficiently by reducing the need for stomatal closure, enabling continued growth and productivity during heat stress.

• Enhanced Plant Health: By minimizing heat and light stress, Purshade supports vigorous plant performance, leading to healthier crops and higher yields.

How It Works:

Purshade is a flowable suspension concentrate that, when mixed with water and applied to crops, forms a thin, reflective film on plant surfaces. This film acts like millions of microscopic mirrors, deflecting damaging UV and IR radiation while allowing photosynthesis to continue uninterrupted. The result is cooler plants, reduced stress, and improved crop resilience.

Proven Results:

• Tomatoes and Melons: Purshade-treated crops showed a 37% increase in marketable yields compared to untreated crops, with significantly fewer sunburned fruits.

• Wine Grapes: Purshade reduced sunburn damage by up to 50%, ensuring higher-quality grapes and better harvests.

• Water Efficiency: By keeping plants cooler and reducing water loss through transpiration, Purshade helps crops thrive even in water-scarce conditions.

Easy to Use:

Purshade is designed for convenience and compatibility. It can be easily tank-mixed with other crop protection products and applied using standard ground or aerial sprayers. The product is non-abrasive to equipment and can be removed from fruits with standard post-harvest washing processes.

Application Tips:

• Apply Purshade to near-drip, avoiding foliage runoff.

• Perform a jar test before mixing with other crop protection products.

• Adjust water volume and band width based on plant size for uniform coverage.

• Discontinue use before harvest to allow natural film attrition for field-packed crops.

Why Choose Purshade?

Purshade is more than just sun protection—it’s a science-driven solution that enhances plant health, optimizes water use, and maximizes yield potential. By reflecting harmful radiation and reducing heat stress, Purshade ensures your crops stay productive, even under the harshest conditions.
