Protect your orchard from heat, insects and yield loss.
Kaoleni is an ultra-fine 0.4-micron agricultural kaolin clay. It prevents sunburn, deters olive fly, and increases yield — no synthetic chemistry, no residue, no pre-harvest interval.
Summer is coming.
Is your orchard ready?
Three threats — scorching heat, olive fly pressure, and rising pesticide costs — hit Mediterranean growers every single season, directly cutting yield and profitability.
Kaoleni is the only natural solution that works against all three simultaneously. Once applied, your trees are protected under a white mineral film that starts working immediately.
🌡️ Sunburn & Heat Stress
Above 35°C, fruit surface temperature stops photosynthesis, disrupts fruit development, and causes permanent sunburn. Commercial value drops to zero.
🦟 Olive Fly — Bactrocera oleae
The biggest threat to olive orchards across Greece and Turkey. Kaolin film creates a physical barrier that prevents females from ovipositing on coated fruit.
💊 Chemical Pesticide Cost & Residue
The EU's 2030 target is a 50% reduction in pesticide use. Kaoleni is EU organic-compatible with zero MRL — full compliance for export markets.
Physical barrier.
No synthetic chemistry.
Solar Reflection
The white mineral film reflects solar radiation, reducing leaf and fruit surface temperature by up to 14°C. Photosynthesis continues uninterrupted throughout the day.
Pest Deterrence
The coated surface creates a hostile environment for olive fly, thrips, aphids, and moths. It doesn't kill — it prevents settlement and oviposition.
Yield Increase
A cooler canopy prevents stomata closure. The tree redirects energy from stress management to fruit development. Result: larger, higher-quality fruit at harvest.
Which crops
does it work on?
Olive Trees
Deters olive fly oviposition, protects against summer heat, and has no impact on olive oil quality. Apply from early summer through harvest.
Stone Fruit
Dramatically reduces sunburn damage on cherries, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. Apply from petal fall onwards.
Grapes
Prevents berry shrivelling and sunburn. Acts as a deterrent against European grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana). Ideal for organic viticulture.
Citrus
Protects fruit skin integrity and reduces rind blemishes caused by heat and thrips. Especially effective in high-temperature inland regions.
Apples & Pears
The most extensively researched kaolin clay application. Reduces sunburn russeting and pear psylla pressure with no effect on fruit flavour or storage.
Pomegranate & Fig
Both crops are prone to fruit splitting under intense heat. Kaoleni regulates the microclimate around developing fruit, significantly reducing losses.
A 50% yield increase
in Greek olive orchards —
peer-reviewed.
Two field trials published in MDPI's Horticulturae journal in 2025 confirmed that kaolin clay applications measurably increased olive oil yield and quality in Greek orchards.
Trials on Koroneiki and Megaron cultivars showed that July application increased yield by over 50% under rainfed conditions and approximately 17% under irrigated conditions. All treated oils met EVOO certification standards at harvest.
Rainfed Orchard
Oil yield increase vs. untreated control — July application. Southern Greece, Lakonia region.
Irrigated Orchard
Oil production increase per tree. Same cultivar, same conditions — kaolin application as the only variable.
All Treatments
All oils from kaolin-treated trees met extra virgin olive oil certification standards at harvest.
