Protect Your Investment with Purshade

 

 

Purshade® is used around the globe on a wide range of crops, such as tree fruits and nuts, vegetables, row crops, vines and berries, corn, grains, and rice. By protecting their valuable crops with Purshade, growers have experienced a variety of benefits, including:

  • Reduction in cullage and increases in marketable yield
  • Increases in fruit size
  • Water use efficiencies
  • Improved plant health
  • Better color, grade, and quality

Designed with the grower in mind, Purshade was specifically formulated to be easy to mix, apply, remove, and store. Its patents-pending wet concentrate formula tank mixes, stays in suspension without re-agitation, provides uniform distribution and even coverage, and removes easily during standard post-harvest processing. Purshade can be applied using typical ground or aerial sprayers with standard nozzles. In addition, Purshade is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides, making it easy to incorporate into an existing spray program.

The only way to ensure that your crops are fully protected from the damaging effects of solar stress is to start Purshade applications early in the season—before the damage occurs. By starting early, and reapplying Purshade throughout the season, you give crops the protection they need to reach their full potential, and you have the best opportunity to maximize your return on investment.
