Surround At-Home Crop Protectant

Surround at Home Crop Protectant is a remarkable organic product that repels insects by creating a white protective barrier on vegetables and fruit trees. It's a real boon to both commercial and home growers because it does not rely on toxicity--instead protects plants with a barrier film is listed for use in organic production is the best organic product available to fight hard-to-control pear psylla, plum curculio and Japanese beetles does not affect honeybees, earthworms or beneficial insects reduces sunburn damage, resulting in higher yield

It sounds too good to be true, but Surround is all that and more! Numerous government and university field studies are confirming the effectiveness of Surround and finding new uses for it. Its active ingredient is a specially processed, super-fine kaolin that's allowed up to 2.5% in foods.

How does it work?

Just as you wouldn't like to crawl into a bed full of gritty sand, insects don’t like crawling on a plant or tree covered with Surround. Surround dries to a powdery film that sticks to insects' wings, legs, and mouth parts, so pests quickly leave to find a more comfortable place to feed or lay eggs.
As an extra benefit, Surround blocks light that causes sunburn, reducing damage by over 50%.

Apply Early

Mix Surround with water (about 1/2 lb. of Surround per gallon of water) and spray directly on your fruit and vegetables. Because it acts as a preventative, it must be applied early, before pests arrive.

Apply only to dry foliage. Keep fruit completely covered with Surround, especially when small. Spray every 1 to 2 weeks to ensure that new growth receives a protective barrier. (Later in the season, when new growth diminishes, intervals can be lengthened to 2 to 3 weeks.) Reapply when dry foliage has lost its white appearance, such as after a heavy rain. About 1/2 gallon of mixed spray provides one application for one mature semi-dwarf tree.
