Protect Your Investment with Purshade

 

 

 

Purshade® solar protectants are used around the globe on a wide range of crops, such as tree fruits and nuts, vegetables, vines and berries, corn, grains, and rice. By protecting their valuable crops with Purshade, growers have experienced a variety of benefits, including:

  • Reduction in cullage and increases in marketable yield
  • Increases in fruit size
  • Water use efficiencies
  • Improved plant health
  • Better color, grade, and quality

Designed with the grower in mind, Purshade products are specifically formulated to be easy to mix, apply, remove, and store. The patents-pending wet concentrate formulas tank mix, stay in suspension without re-agitation, provide uniform distribution and even coverage, and remove easily during standard post-harvest processing. Purshade protectants can be applied using typical ground or aerial sprayers with standard nozzles. In addition, Purshade products are compatible with most fungicides and insecticides, making it easy to incorporate solar protection into an existing spray program.

The only way to ensure that your crops are fully protected from the damaging effects of solar stress is to start Purshade applications early in the season—before the damage occurs. By starting early, and reapplying Purshade throughout the season, you give crops the protection they need to reach their full potential, and you have the best opportunity to maximize your return on investment.
