Sol-UV: Shielding Crops from Sun

Sunlight is essential for crop growth, but too much of it can quickly turn into a problem. Intense ultraviolet (UV) rays, along with infrared and visible radiation, often lead to fruit sunburn, discoloration, and stress that reduce both quality and yield.

Sol-UV is a unique formulation developed to address this challenge. By efficiently absorbing and reflecting harmful rays, it acts as a protective barrier that keeps your fruits safe under even the harshest sun exposure.

Fast-Acting Protection Against Sunburn and Discoloration

Sol-UV forms a thin, effective layer on fruits such as apples, melons, watermelons, oranges, and tomatoes. This protective coat minimizes the risk of sunburn and unsightly blemishes, ensuring that crops maintain their fresh, healthy appearance from the field to the market shelf.

Reducing Oxidative Stress and Lowering Surface Temperature

By selectively filtering UV, infrared, and visible radiation, Sol-UV reduces fruit surface temperature and oxidative stress. This creates a more balanced growing environment where plants can focus their energy on growth and fruit development instead of stress defense. On the first two images it can be seen that no-application results as stress and high surface temperature. Meanwhile on the 3rd and 4th images it is very easy to see the difference of growth and surface temperature.

Improving Harvest Quality and Commercial Yield

Sol-UV not only safeguards crops but also improves their market value. By preventing losses from sunburn and stress-related damage, growers achieve more uniform fruit quality, extended shelf life, and stronger commercial yields — ensuring higher profitability from each harvest.
