About Shine N' Ripe XL
Shine N' Ripe XL is a highly-reflective, long-lasting, metalized agricultural film developed in-house by Imaflex to fight citrus greening (HLB), a bacterial disease transmitted by the insect Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP) while feeding on citrus trees. It is scientifically proven that Shine N' Ripe XL is more efficient and economically viable than common insecticides alone in fighting HLB.
Shine N' Ripe XL unique characteristics allows it to reflect the complete spectrum of sunlight at full strength and in a way that distracts ACP from citrus trees, accelerates tree growth and increases yields. The proprietary anti-corrosion coating maintains Shine N' Ripe XL high-reflectivity for 3 or more years, while its advanced plastic film structure better controls weeds, and brings water preservation benefits, making it the most economically viable tool for currently managing citrus greening.
