How Solar Guard Works

Solar Guard is based on Solbere's patented solar formulations, utilizing calcium particles that offer 1000 times more light-deflecting particles per spray drop than conventional calcium or clay-based solar products. This unique cloaked particle technology provides:

  • Improved adhesion to leaves, reducing product runoff.
  • Optimized light exposure, reducing stress on plants.
  • Enhanced nutrient absorption and water use efficiency, leading to higher crop yields

Water Use Efficiency (WUE)

Water use efficiency measures the amount of crop or biomass produced per unit of water consumed. Solar Guard enhances drought resistance in crops by lowering leaf temperatures during intense sunlight, helping plants convert solar energy into growth rather than heat stress. When soil moisture is low, crops naturally slow photosynthesis or experience cellular damage. By maintaining optimal leaf temperatures, Solar Guard minimizes drought-related yield loss, with university studies showing up to a 45% reduction in drought stress impact.

Shade Avoidance Prevention

When crops are grown at high densities, plants instinctively shift nutrients into vertical growth rather than producing harvestable yields. This response to shade stress reduces productivity. Solar Guard counteracts this effect by:

  • Enhancing light in optimal growth wavelengths to maximize photosynthesis.
  • Splitting light rays via Smart Cal++ nanoparticles to increase usable light exposure.
  • Encouraging balanced growth, preventing unnecessary elongation and ensuring more energy is directed toward crop yield.
