Micronized kaolin, 10 microns (pallet of 48 bags of 10 kg), for foliar treatments

MICRONIZED KAOLIN, 10 micron (PALLET OF 48 BAGS OF 10 Kg) , FOR FOLIAR TREATMENTS.

In conventional, integrated, organic agriculture, in open fields or in greenhouses, Kaolin, in powder form for agricultural use, improves fruits and protects the vegetation of crops, such as olive trees, vines, apples, pears, kiwis and vegetables.

Kaolin hinders the settlement and spread of insects, fungi and bacteria, protects against high temperatures and water shortages.

Strengthener, resistance inducer, allowed in organic farming pursuant to EC regulation 889/2008 and subsequent amendments.

Finally, it can be purchased freely and used without any limitation by the user.

The particle size indicated in the product title, i.e. 10 microns is a precautionary particle size, in reality the product can be certified with technical data sheets such as D50 2 microns, i.e. 50% of the particles are below 2 microns, the remaining 50% has a grain size slightly higher than 2 microns but in any case lower than the 10 microns indicated in the title of the product.

FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND FIELDS OF USE

Kaolin on olive tree

Kaolin is certainly effective against the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, hinders the spread of Homalodisca vitripennis, vector of the Xylella fastidiosa bacterium responsible for the Rapid Olive Drying Complex (CoDiRO).

It is also effective in preventing olive mange, olive moth, Prays oleae, as well as for the half peppercorn cochineal, Saissetia oleae.

Finally, it improves the quality of the oil, increasing its chlorophyll and carotenoid content, and decreasing its peroxides and ultraviolet absorption coefficients.

Furthermore, olives treated with kaolin show a reduction in the content of palmitic and linoleic acid, with a positive increase in the content of oleic acid.

Therefore, a greater oxidative stability and a longer shelf-life of the oil of the plants treated with kaolin are observed.

Kaolin on screw

It hinders the infestation of the fruit fly, Drosophila suzukii, and of the vine moth, Lobesia botrana.

It severely limits the population of green leafhopper (Empoasca vitis) and yellow leafhopper (Zygina rhamni).

It reduces water stress, leaf burns, improves the quality of grapes and wine, increasing the cont
