Crop  Microclmte Management Inc

Dedicated to abiotic stress management

Screen applications will reduce sunburn and heat stress in pineapple plants throughout the season, from planting to harvest and can significantly increase marketable yield and quality. 

 

The most susceptible growth stages are at planting, early plant development, flower induction, early fruit development and just prior to harvest, when the large fruits become exposed to the sun leading to external bleaching and burning of the skin and internal translucency. Used correctly, Screen can reduce sunburn by 50% or more.

 

Using Screen to reduce heat stress throughout the growing season can lead to increased fruit size, higher sugar content and more marketable fruit per hectare.

Product Summary

· Screen will improve transplant growth and survival, reducing moisture stress

· Early plant development is enhanced with Screen applications

· Sunburn can be reduced 50% or more y maintaining a Screen application on the fruit

Use Directions:

 

Sunburn: To reduce sunburn to fruit, apply SCREEN before temperatures reach 30C. Apply 50 kg/ha in a water volume of approximately 1000 to 1250 L/ha using a calibrated boom fitted with fan nozzles (for details, click here). Two or more applications may be required for complete coverage. If applying more than a single application, make alternate applications in opposite directions. Make additional applications of 25kg/ha as necessary to maintain an adequate film on the fruit and particularly after heavy rain.

Heat Stress. To reduce heat stress in newly planted pineapples, during flower induction or early fruit development, apply SCREEN at 50 kg/ha prior to the onset of high temperatures. Make additional applications of 25 kg/ha SCREEN at 7-14 day intervals to maintain a film throughout the period of heat (for details, click here).
