Protect Profits from Environmental Stressors
Sun, rain, pathogens, insects and other natural stressors can lead to costly damages. Fortifying the fruit and leaf cuticle is your first layer of defense against these issues to optimize plant health and fruit quality at packout.
With Parka, you can relax knowing your fruit has the best protection under the sun. It combines unique modes of action in a residue-free formula that not only reduces culls due to stressors such as sunburn, cracking and splitting, it improves overall quality and consistency you can see.
A Powerful Formulation
Powered by proprietary SureSeal™ technology, Parka supplements the cuticle in three ways to help maximize marketable yields.
- Seals microfractures in the existing cuticle and forms a barrier to keep unwanted moisture and pathogens out.
- Minimizes the production of negative oxidative compounds and encourages production of antioxidants.
- Improves overall photosynthesis by increasing leaf stomatal activity and net CO2 exchange.

A Clear Choice for Permanent Crops
Parka is the clear choice for growers, pickers and packers because of its many benefits.
Growers
Parka can be tank mixed with a wide variety of foliar inputs, including fertilizers and pesticides to reduce spray passes across the field. It’s also exempt from MRLs so it can be applied at any time with zero re-entry interval or pre-harvest interval.
Pickers
Parka is transparent and leaves no residue on the fruit. This helps workers easily identify color and defects while picking, meaning only the highest quality fruit makes it into bins. It also has an excellent worker safety profile.
Packers
Packers can expect overall incoming quality of the fruit is better and more consistent, which expedites finishing and grading due to fewer culls at packout.
