Shield Your Garden Crops with Armor

Team Grow Armor is a foliar-applied crop protectant made from kaolin clay that forms a protective coating to help reduce sunburn/sunscald stress and help deter insect feeding and egg-laying on your plants and developing fruit.

What Armor Helps With

Sunburn & Sunscald Stress: Helps reduce sun stress during intense summer heat and temperature swings (especially on crops like tomatoes).
Fruit Pest Pressure: Helps deter insect feeding and egg-laying on developing fruit—especially plum curculio.
Common Garden Pests: Also helps deter pests such as cucumber beetle (cucumbers), squash vine borer (squash/pumpkin/zucchini), plus stink bugs, thrips, aphids, mites, leafhoppers, caterpillars, beetles, whiteflies, and scale.
Seasonal Tree Protection: Can also support fruit trees with protection from winter sun scald.

Best For

Backyard growers who want extra protection during hot, bright summer weather.
Backyard orchards and fruit tree growers dealing with plum curculio pressure during fruit development.
Gardeners growing cucumbers where cucumber beetles are a recurring issue.
Squash, pumpkin, and zucchini growers looking to help deter pressure from squash vine borer and other pests.
Organic-minded gardeners who want a protectant made with all organic ingredients.
