SCREEN can reduce the incidence of sunburn up to 50 per cent when applied before the on set of high temperatures.  Changes in canopy architecture can expose fruit to light under high temperature; SCREEN must be applied before the fruit becomes exposed. Similarly for other pome fruit, SCREEN must be applied before damaging conditions occur.

pome Fruit Uses

· Typical sunburn damage in the more susceptible varieties runs around 20 per cent of total yield

· SCREEN can reduce sunburn damage to apples and other pome fruits by at least 50 per cent of untreated.

· Therefore, in this instance, a SCREEN treatment provides a value of 10 per cent of total crop yield. Enter your values below for an estimate of what SCREEN can return for you.

Use Directions:

 

Method 1. Apply SCREEN  at 50 kg/ha before conditions favorable for sunburn ( high temperatures and light) in water at between 2.5 and 5% weight to volume (for detail, click here). Spray to near drip. Make a additional applications at 7-14 days intervals to maintain an adequate film on expanding fruit and foliage.

 

Method 2. Apply SCREEN at 25 kg/ha at or just after petal fall, in sufficient water to provide coverage to near drip. Make additional applications of 12.5 kg/ha SCREEN at 7-14 day intervals to maintain a film on foliage and developing fruit.

 

Special pear instructions: Applications of SCREEN can be made pre-bloom at 7-10 day intervals to reduce damage due to low temperatures. Make applications to protect bark, twigs, and swelling flower buds.
