Clean-Leaf II™
History:
Clean-Leaf II™ is one of the new products manufactured by
Alpha Agri-Products Inc. Officially trialed in May of 2008
as a foliar enhancement product the market place quickly
embraced its benefits.
How does it work?
Clean-Leaf II™ is a food grade paraffinic
mineral oil. Because of the processing and the removal of
all impurities Clean-Leaf II is water soluble.
Clean-Leaf II™ is designed to create a protective layer
on the plant leaf surface and yet allow the stoma to function
freely. As the thin layer of waxy material covers the leaf
surface it will give a 10 to14 day protection against the
elements. A well covered leaf will have a shiny appearance
after a treatment.
What crops can benefit from Clean-Leaf
II™?
Clean-Leaf II™ was originally designed for
grape growers, but Clean-Leaf II™ is now widely used in
greenhouse crops and other high value field crops.
What are the benefits?
It is becoming more and more difficult
to bring a crop to its natural maturity, our environment
is changing and growing crops is more challenging than ever
before. Clean-Leaf II™ is one extra tool for growers to
help the crop survive until harvest is finished. Because
Clean-Leaf II™ is food grade oil it is completely safe to
use on fruit and vegetables and has extremely low health
risk to the applicator.
Any Risks?
Like any product, Clean-Leaf II™ also has
risks. Because the base material is oil; careful attention
is needed during mixing and a good surfactant may be needed
to give the product an even spread. Please read the directions
before use. Incorrect application could cause burning. (We
strongly recommend a small trial area first).
