New Plantings Product Guide

Setting a Solid Foundation for Continued Growth and Success

Parka® applications support new plantings by strengthening the cuticle of foliage and young shoots, enhancing the plant’s resistance to heat and moisture stress. This increased resilience boosts photosynthetic activity, optimizes water and nutrient uptake and extends the growth period during this critical phase.
