PLANT STRENGTHENER AND ENHANCER OF NATURAL PLANT DEFENSES
Composition: 100% rock powder
Product obtained as is from the mechanical grinding of kaolin free from contaminated elements
Features
Rock powder is a dehydrating product, as it covers the plant with a film that counteracts the thermal effect, substantially reducing the wetting period of plant surfaces. The product also has an indirect physical effect on the development of phytophagous insects and fungal diseases.
Spray the vegetation uniformly with an aqueous suspension of 2.5-4 kg/hl
Precautions for use
Rock powder in suspension is a natural product, harmless to humans, animals, and beneficial insects.
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool, and frost-free place.
100% NATURAL KAOLIN POWDER
PERMITTED IN ORGANIC FARMING ACCORDING TO EC REGULATION 834/2007 AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATES
Features:
- Defense and protection from some insects
- Protects crops from high temperatures "heat stress"
After treatment, a thin layer of white mineral particles forms on the plants. These act as protection and defense against some insects, which is why it is important to cover all vegetation with the treatment.
Prevents olive fruit fly.
Treatment with Kaolin forms a thin layer of white mineral particles on the olive tree's vegetation, which appears coated with a "powdery" covering.
The fly does not lay eggs on olives soiled with kaolin.
It is essential to ensure complete, uniform, and continuous coverage.
After treatment, the plant's leaf surface takes on an off-white color. When the foliage dries and loses its white color, it's time to repeat the treatment.
It is possible to mix a copper product with Kaolin, to be added after the Kaolin has dissolved.
On olive trees, it hinders the spread of Homalodisca vitripennis (Wikipedia), a vector of Xylella fastidiosa (Wikipedia), the bacterium responsible for Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (CoDiRO). It is effective in preventing olive knot, olive moth (Prays oleae), and olive scale (Saissetia oleae). It improves oil quality by increasing its chlorophyll and carotenoid content.
On grapevines, it hinders infestation by the fruit fly, Drosophila suzukii (Wikipedia), and the grape berry moth, Lobesia botrana (Wikipedia).
It reduces water stress and foliar burns, and improves the quality of grapes and wine by increasing polyphenol content and total acidity of the grapes.
On apple trees, it prevents apple russeting and improves fruit finish. It is effective against Cacopsylla melanoneura, a vector of apple proliferation disease. It is also effective against pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyri. It reduces attacks by apple scab pathogens, Venturia inaequalis, and fire blight of pome fruits, Erwinia amylovora.
It is repellent against the brown marmorated stink bug.
Natural kaolin is a sedimentary rock consisting mainly of kaolinite, an aluminum silicate clay with an earthy and rather soft appearance, and is produced by the action of meteoric water on feldspar.
Kaolin is used in numerous human activities, from construction to the production of ceramics and porcelain, and also in the medical field. Depending on the field of application, commercial products vary because their properties and purity differ.
The characteristics of our formulation are:
- high micronization with particles smaller than 2 µm, so that it can be sprayed easily and adhere to the plant, possibly creating a film;
- the film does not interfere with gas exchange and transmits photosynthetically active radiation while reducing ultraviolet and infrared radiation, but it interferes with and hinders insect activity;
- it does not create difficulties for harvested products, as it is easily removed.
It is very useful in combating olive and fruit flies in general and reducing fruit drop.
Kaolin (white clay) is used in viticulture and horticulture (tomato) to protect grape bunches and fruits from sunburn, which is frequent in these crops.
Once distributed on the vegetation, it has the property of reflecting sunlight and provides a very high level of protection, reducing sunburn by up to 50 – 70%. By reflecting infrared rays, it lowers the plant's temperature and improves chlorophyll photosynthesis, creating more luxuriant vegetation. The product is finely micronized, avoiding possible abrasion to equipment, so it is suitable for all types of atomizers; it can be mixed with most plant protection products used in agriculture, although it is recommended not to use it with copper-based products as it reduces screening.
When mixed, it dissolves in water first and is distributed at a dose of 2-3 kg per hectoliter.
The uniformity of distribution on the vegetation is more important than the layers of application. Treated plants have a whitish-milky leaf surface, but it is easily washed away by heavy rainfall.
Under normal conditions, application is recommended on sunny days with strong radiation, or after summer pruning. The treatment can be repeated multiple times, especially when the whitish color on the vegetation diminishes.
In addition to its protective action against sunburn, kaolin has a collateral effect of reducing the population of olive fruit flies and vine leafhoppers in the presence of thrips (in this case, intervention should begin by mid-flowering).
Repeated treatments have a refreshing, antitranspirant, and cuticle-strengthening effect on leaves to protect plants from heat stress and sunscald. It also has the characteristic of depositing on treated surfaces as a thin protective film, thus counteracting pests like the fruit fly from laying eggs on fruits. The product should be applied preventively, i.e., before egg-laying begins (typically July-August), and the treatment should be repeated monthly (September-October and, if fly infestation remains high and harvest is not imminent, also November).
The use of kaolin is permitted in organic farming.
It is also effective against the walnut husk fly and the fruit fly, and we recall that kaolin has also proven effective against two other pests: the pear psylla and the chestnut gall wasp.
Even in these cases, it prevents egg-laying on parts soiled by the treatment.PERMITTED IN ORGANIC FARMING ACCORDING TO EC REGULATION 834/2007 AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATES

Kaolin is still commonly used for the protection of fruit trees (and horticultural crops) from scorching and sunburn caused by the sun.
Mixing recommendations:
Do not dissolve the product directly in the correct amount of water, but prepare a paste with a small amount of water and then gradually mix it with the remaining water (dose per liter).
