Starch-based, biodegradable liquid shading coating that keeps crops cooler and more productive.
DISCOVER CROPSHADERCropshader Orchard is a starch-based liquid shading coating developed to protect fruits and trees from heat stress, caused by extreme sunlight and high temperatures. Powered by Lumiforte’s advanced starch technology, it forms a thin, reflective film on leaves and fruits — lowering fruit and leaf temperature, preventing sunburn, and increasing the photosynthetic activity by decreasing heat stress.
Every season, heat stress and sunburn can cause growers up to 30% loss in yield. Cropshader Orchard provides a sustainable, EU-certified plant biostimulant that is easy to apply, safe to use, biodegradable and free of microplastics.
Sunburn is not just a quality issue, it directly reduces revenue per hectare. Even a small percentage of downgraded fruit can erase your margin in a single heat event. This blog breaks down what sunburn really costs in practice and shows how the right protection strategy helps recover lost yield and protect your profitability.
