Surround reduces sunburn damage, resulting in higher yield. 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. Its active ingredient is a specially processed, super-fine kaolin (allowed up to 2.5% in foods.) As an extra benefit, Surround blocks light that causes sunburn, reducing damage by over 50%.
