Wilt-Pruf is an anti-transpirant
product designed to protect plants from moisture loss through their foliage. Wilt-Pruf works by forming a clear, protective coating on foliage that
helps plants to retain moisture. The
coating is flexible and does not interfere with plant growth. Furthermore, WiltPruf is organic, non-toxic and biodegradeable , making it safe
and favorable to use in many applications.
It protects plants are under water stress due to winter kill, windburn, drought
and transplant shock.

Much of the damage to trees and shrubs, notably
evergreens goes on "behind the scenes". One of the main dangers
is from wind burning. When moisture is not available(when the ground is frozen for example), leaves and stems
continue to transpire, taking moisture from living cells. What happens is
desiccation or drying out, resulting in browning or actual killing of leaves and
stems. Winter protection with Wilt Pruf can save the life of your shrub.
The IPM Practitioner found anti-transpirants
are effective anti-fungals due to their protective coating of the foliage which
appears to prevent susceptibility to infection. This is mechanical
protection rather than active protection as afforded by anti-fungals, the
advantage being that of using a natural, organic product. "The IPM
Practitioner" concluded that WiltPruf use resulted in 88% to 96% powdery mildew reduction on
hydrangea, crapemyrtle, zinnia, & roses. 1 Success was also achieved
with apple scab, gray mold leaf rust, leaf blight and anthracnose. This
same mechanical protection may also be a benefit in preventing to rose black
spot and rust. Anti-transpirants are non-toxic, biodegradeable and
inexpensive compared to the cost of fungicides and their mode of action is
non-specific, thus there is less likely-hood of a build up of resistance.
WiltPruf prevents and alleviates moisture
stress in plants.
