- Applications form a particle film that protects crops from damaging heat and radiation.
- Activates the crop`s inherent protective mechanisms against damaging reactive oxygen species (ROX, free radicals), reducing photoinhibition and increasing protective biochemistry – meaning less cellular damage.
These modes of action provide duo-treated crops with more energy and grow larger fruit. Permanent damage, manifested as sunburn damage is also greatly reduced.
Screen Duo is an effective solution for reducing losses from sunburn and heat stress in crops.
Sunburnt fruit due to excess heat and light can reduce saleable yields by up to 50 percent, and average losses in some varieties are in the 20 percent range.
With Screen Duo’s innovative technology, growers can:
- Reduce flower abortion
- Maintain fruit set
- Increase yield of red tomatoes
- Increase Brix
- Provide more uniform ripening
Depending on application timing Screen Duo provides multiple benefits.
- Late applications at canopy collapse protect fruit from excess heat and light, reducing loss due to sunburn by 50 percent or more
- Low rate (5-10 kg/ha) application beginning at flowering provides improvements including reduction in flower abortion, fruit drop and increased yield.
- Season-long application at 5-10 kg/ha (lbs/A), beginning just prior to crop flowering requires continued applications to maintain a visible film on plants (about every 7 to 10 days).
