Agricultural Refractory Clay: a natural product formulated from clay (Kaolin, white clay) designed to reduce the harmful effects of high temperatures on plants and crops.
This non-toxic product is applied in powder form to the leaves and stems of plants, improving their resistance to thermal stress and preventing heat stroke.
The agricultural refractory clay helps to:
Reduce the temperature of the plant's surface, minimizing water evaporation.
Increase efficiency in the use of water resources.
Prevent nutrient loss and dehydration in hot and dry climates.
Act as a physical barrier against UV rays, thus protecting plants from the harmful effects of solar radiation.
Application of Kaolin in woody and extensive crops:
Recommended dose: 4-6 kg/hl for woody crops and 40 kg/ha for extensive crops such as industrial tomato, cotton, and pepper.
Maintenance applications: 3 kg/hl.
To prepare the mixture:
Add the product gradually to the treatment tank.
Fill the tank to 80% of its volume.
Keep the agitation system running throughout the application.
It is advisable to add wetting agents if necessary and take precautions: postpone application in case of wind or risk of rain. Make sure to clean the sprayer after use.
Do not apply the product on fruits that cannot be easily washed, brushed, and waxed after harvest. Traces of kaolin on treated fruits do not affect quality.
