Vapor Gard®
Vapor Gard® is a Pinolene® based product for use on specialty crops as a full-coverage spray to reduce water evapotranspiration. Vapor Gard forms a soft, microscopic film over the leaf and plant surface that reduces the loss of water vapor, minimizing the effects of drought stress. Vapor Gard does not interfere with photosynthesis or respiration, which allows for normal growth and development to continue. The film also protects leaves and fruits against adverse (hot or cold) weather conditions.

- General Information
VAPOR GARD is a water emulsifiable concentrate for use on plants to reduce water transpiration. The soft, flexible film formed after the spray application dries, will significantly reduce moisture lost by the plant foliage. All anti-transpirant spray applications must be applied for full coverage. Spray VAPOR GARD for full coverage or use as a dip. No additional spreader is needed with VAPOR GARD. Apply VAPOR GARD at least one hour, during daylight, before an anticipated rain. Sunlight for this time period, is needed for the protective film to set. VAPOR GARD dries on plants to form a clear, glossy film which retards normal moisture loss without interfering with plant growth or normal respiration. VAPOR GARD beautifies plants by polishing leaf surfaces.
