Screen™ Duo
Keeps Crops Cooler
The Screen™Duo Treatment offers a dual approach to safeguarding crops from environmental stress
Particle Film Application:
By forming a protective particle film, the treatment shields
crops from the detrimental effects of heat and radiation, effectively reducing damage caused by these factors.
Activation of Crop’s Protective Mechanisms:
The treatment also activates the inherent protective mechanisms within crops, boosting their ability to combat reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals. This activation minimises photoinhibition and enhances protective biochemistry, resulting in reduced cellular damage. The combination of these two modes of action provided by the Screen™Duo Treatment delivers several benefits to treated crops. They receive a greater amount of energy and experience improved growth, leading to the development of larger fruits. Additionally, the treatment significantly reduces the occurrence of permanent damage, notably sunburn damage. With the Screen™Duo Treatment, crops are fortified against environmental stressors, ensuring their vitality and maximising productivity.
Benefits
Reduced flower abortion
Increased fruit size and quality

Up to 30 - 40% reduction in potential water use
Reduces losses from sunburn and heat stress in crops
Directions for use
Season Long Program (Preferred)
Apply 2.5 kg/100L water (broadcast basis) in sufficient water to provide a uniform lm over foliage. Begin applications immediately after lowering and continue with 1.25 kg/100L water at 14-21 day intervals. Apply to form a uniform lm in sufficient water to cover the foliage. Drip and drench applications will cause poor lm formation due to excess spray volume. A well-applied season-long program will protect against fruit drop, enhance fruit sizing, and increasing yield and quality.
Sunburn Management Only
Make initial application of 2.5 kg/100L water in sufficient water to provide a uniform lm over foliage and fruit. Make additional applications of 1.25 kg/100 L water every 14-21 days. Begin applications prior to expected temperatures of 30C or higher
