When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the
requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40
CFR 170.240 (d) (4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as
specified in the WPS.
Nuisance dust masks and goggles provide the best protection for harvesters especially
when plants are shaken during harvest.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for
washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Environmental Hazards
For terrestrial uses: DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate
water when disposing of equipment wash-water or rinsate.
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either
directly or through drift. Only protected handlers can be in the area during application. For
any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the state or tribal agency
responsible for pesticide regulation.
DO NOT apply Surround® WP crop protectant through any type of irrigation system.
Use Surround WP in accordance with directions on this label.
Surround® WP crop protectant forms a mineral-based particle film intended for protection
of agricultural crops, plants in nurseries, and greenhouses. When Surround WP is applied
to plants, a dry white film results. Many pests are listed as suppressed, which means that
full control often is not achieved, and supplemental methods often are needed to enhance
the level of control. Thorough, uniform, and consistent coverage is essential
throughout the infestation or stress period.

eneral Application INSTRUCTIONS
(see also, specific crop use instructions):
When applied at given rates and frequencies, benefits such as increased plant vigor and
improved yields typically occur on many crops. Under high ambient temperatures,
Surround WP reduces canopy temperature and, therefore, can help to reduce heat and
water stress. When Surround WP is used, many fruits have shown improved fruit color,
soluble solids, smoothness, and size with less russet, dropping, sunburn, and cracking.
Sunburn Suppression: Apply to sunburn-prone fruit, leaf, or limb and trunk bark surfaces
before conditions leading to sunburn occur. If initiating sprays for sunburn suppression
where there have been no prior sprays, provide thorough coverage of all fruit or other plant
surfaces prior to sunburn-causing conditions with one to two full rate applications 7 days
apart. Depending upon the length of the high heat period, three to four applications in total
often are needed, with subsequent applications every 7 to 21 days. Good coverage on
typical semi-dwarf trees is best achieved with the initial one to two sprays at 50 lbs in 100
to 200 gallons per acre to achieve near-drip coverage on the fruit or other plant surfaces.
However, if allowed (see specific crop group directions), up to 100 lbs/100 gallons are
allowed when spray frequencies need to be reduced. Make subsequent applications at half
to full rates if even coverage is maintained throughout the high heat period. Under windy
conditions, Surround WP can be rubbed off by leaf movement making reapplication
necessary.
Aerial Application: Aerial applications for sunburn and heat stress reduction are best
made at concentrations of no more than 1 lb of Surround WP per 1 gallon of water. Use
no less than 10 gallons per acre, but on trees 20 or more gallons per acre are preferred.
Repeat applications 3 to 4 times per above intervals or as necessary to establish and
maintain even coverage on fruit surfaces throughout the high heat period. See aerial
applications under I C.
Washing is required unless only early season applications are made and the film weathers
off before harvest. Most residues wash off with packing line brushing and forced water
sprays. An approved washing detergent is typically helpful if used in the packing line and/or
wash tank. Perform a pre-harvest washing trial to determine if a washing detergent is
necessary. Waxing further improves fruit appearance.
For fresh market apples that will not be waxed, such as apples for organic
markets or specific export markets that DO NOT accept waxed apples or for
washed crops where traces of white residue are not acceptable: Unless washing
facilities are adequate, cease applications enough in advance of harvest to allow
residue to weather off completely. For ‘Red Delicious’ and ‘Braeburn’ apple varieties
DO NOT apply any later than two months prior to harvest.
Pome Fruits
Such as apple, crabapple, quince, pear, and loquat
Horticultural Benefits
Surround WP often enhances fruit quality (see I D for general horticultural benefits) if
applications start at petal fall and are continued until mid to late season. For petal fall
applications, see footnote 2 above about leaf miner. Many pear cultivars, particularly
Comice and Anjou varieties, have shown improved fruit color, smoothness, and size with
less russet when Surround WP is used. Some apple cultivars have shown less bitter pit
and corking in season-long programs.
Diseases
Surround WP sometimes can enhance the efficacy of wettable sulfur and/or lime-sulfur
against scab, powdery mildew, sooty blotch, and flyspeck. See Product Guides for specific
mixture directions. The use of wettable type sulfurs are preferred if tank mixing sulfur with
Surround WP. DO NOT tank-mix elemental sulfurs with Surround WP.
Stone Fruit
Such as apricot, sweet or tart cherries, nectarine, peach, plum, pluot, plumcot1,
and prune
Special Directions
Special Washing Considerations for Stone Fruit: For fresh market fruit, special
washing is required; especially for fuzzy peaches. Most residues wash off with brushing
and forced water sprays. An approved fruit cleaning detergent can be used in packing
line and/or wash tank. Prior to brushing, a pre-soak in approved fruit cleaning detergent
is usually needed for fuzzy peaches. A pre-harvest washing trial is a good practice to
determine if a detergent is necessary. Waxing further improves fruit appearance. If fresh
market stone fruit cannot be washed as noted above, discontinue sprays when the fruit are
approximately 3/4 inch in diameter. Residues of Surround WP crop protectant DO NOT
affect processed fruit quality.
If cherries are for fresh market, discontinue application when fruit are half size
(approximately 1/4 inch) if no washing is available.
Citrus Fruits
Such as lemon, lime, grapefruit, mandarin, satsuma mandarin,
pummelo, mandarin, tangelos, kumquat, and oranges
B. NUT CROPS:
Volume: Apply to near-drip, not to excessive run-off. For 20-foot trees, it is best to use
200 gallons per acre. Large trees like walnut and pecan can require up to 300 gallons per
acre.
Concentration (the amount of Surround WP per 100 gallons of water): It is best to use 25
to 50 lbs Surround WP per 100 gallons of water.
Tree Nuts
Such as almond, beech nut, Brazil nut, butternut, chestnut, cashew, filbert,
hickory nut, macadamia nut, pecan, walnut, and including pistachio
c. Small Fruits:
Volume: Apply to near-drip. DO NOT apply to run-off to avoid waste and poor coverage.
The volume of water/acre required will increase throughout the growing season in
relationship to the increasing size of the crop and its foliage.
Concentration (the amount of Surround WP crop protectant per 100 gallons of water):
It is best to use 25 to 50 lbs Surround WP per 100 gallons of water.
Berries
Such as blackberry, raspberry, dewberry, boysenberry, loganberry, elderberry,
blueberry, ribes such as currant and gooseberry, and including cranberry
Special Directions
Apply on fresh market berries only up to the first three weeks after fruit set as trace
residues can be difficult to remove after harvest. Application of plain water via normal
sprayer prior to harvest can help to reduce Surround WP residues. Processing blueberries
can be washed using detergent and water sprayers capable of rinsing away residues in the
packing line. Minor residues of Surround WP on blueberries for processing are acceptable
provided no other pesticides are also present.
Grapes
Special Directions
Wine grapes: Harvest parameters can be altered and maturity can be delayed especially
in white wine varieties. Closely monitor harvest parameters to determine optimal time to
harvest. Changes in harvest parameters can affect final taste. Wine grapes sprayed up
to veraison will have minimal adherence to berries. Applications after veraison will adhere
more on grape berries.
Raisin grapes: It is best that raisin grapes be sprayed only up to bunch closing.
Infestations can be sprayed up to first bloom, and again after harvest.
Table grapes: DO NOT spray table grapes from first bloom to harvest as white residue
can remain on the rachis and fruit until harvest. Infestations can be sprayed up to first
bloom, and again after harvest.
D. Field Vegetables:
Volume: Apply to near-drip. DO NOT apply to run-off to avoid waste and poor
coverage. The volume of water/acre required will increase throughout the growing season
in relationship to the increasing size of the crop and its foliage. Seedlings will need less
water and a lower amount of Surround WP crop protectant than fully mature plants
to uniformly coat their surfaces. Adjust the volume of water and rate used throughout
the season based upon plant size. Lower volumes and rates are typically used only for
immature plants.
Concentration (the amount of Surround WP per 100 gallons of water): It is best to use
25 to 50 lbs Surround WP per 100 gallons of water.
Legume Vegetables
Such as beans, pea, chickpeas, and soybean
Special Directions
Only spray beans that are difficult to wash, such as string beans, when beans are small.
DO NOT apply to other field and garden vegetables if they are intended for the fresh
market and cannot be adequately washed after harvest to completely remove Surround
WP residues. Minor residues of Surround WP on field and garden vegetables for
processing are acceptable provided no other pesticides are also present.
Fruiting Vegetables
Such as tomato, pepper1 and including eggplant1
Cucurbit Vegetables
Such as cucumber, summer and winter squash, pumpkin, citron melon,
muskmelon, and watermelon
Volume: Apply to near-drip. DO NOT apply to run-off to avoid waste and poor coverage.
The volume of water per acre required will increase throughout the growing season in
relation to the increasing size of the crop and its foliage.
Concentration (the amount of Surround WP crop protectant per 100 gallons of water):
It is best to use 25 to 50 lbs Surround WP per 100 gallons of water.
Cotton
Tropical Crops
Such as coffee, avocado, banana, guava, mango, passion fruit, starfruit, papaya,
and pineapple
Special Directions
Initial application over waxy surfaces such as mango fruit can bead and not spread
adequately.
Miscellaneous Crops
Such as artichoke, fig, hops, globe, kiwifruit, olives, okra, paw paw,
peanut, persimmon, pomegranate**, strawberry and water chestnut
f. Non-Food Crops:
Special Directions
Plants treated with Surround WP will appear white from application. If this is undesirable,
DO NOT spray. On cut-flower plants, it is best to spray only the leafy foliage of the plant, so
that cuttings are not affected.
