Increased Light

Bar graph showing Imperial Mandarin fruit grade improvements with Extenday. Data demonstrates a 60 percent increase in First Grade fresh market fruit and a 53 percent reduction in lower-value Juice Grade fruit. Extenday Reflective Fabric significantly enhances sunlight exposure to the entire tree, specifically reaching the inner-canopy fruit that can lack light exposure. This boost in photosynthesis accelerates fruit development and uniform ripening. Crucially, the extra carbohydrates accumulated during the first season provide the energy reserves needed for superior flowering and increased yields in following years, promoting more consistent annual production.

Advanced Maturity & Yield

Bar graph showing citrus harvest maturity with Extenday. Data demonstrates a 31 percent first-pick harvest compared to 16 percent in the control group, proving accelerated ripening and concentrated maturity. Enhanced photosynthetic activity across the entire tree accelerates the natural ripening process. This leads to significantly earlier harvests with nearly twice as much fruit (31% vs. 16%) ready for the first pick. By concentrating maturity and reducing the number of subsequent harvest passes, Extenday reduces labor costs while ensuring growers hit the high-value early market window.

Better Size & Sweetness

Comparison bar graph showing a 9% increase in Satsuma mandarin fruit weight when using Extenday reflective ground cover. Citrus grown with Extenday Reflective Fabric are larger and sweeter compared to those grown without it with a better brix/acid ratio.

Pest and Disease Control

Extenday Reflective Fabric can disrupt the orientation of pests like Asian Citrus Psyllid, making it harder for them to find and damage the fruit. Reduced humidity can lower fungal diseases.

Proven Technology

The image shows fresh oranges, a cutting board, a knife, a calculator, and a refractometer for measuring Brix levels, demonstrating the data-driven approach to verifying citrus sweetness and maturity.$ Extenday Reflective Fabric, trusted by growers since 1996, has undergone rigorous testing by Extenday, universities, and research institutes worldwide. These tests have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of our products.

Weed Mats

Citrus trees with Extenday weed mat installed and stapled in place with metal pins for long-term weed suppression. Extenday’s long-lasting weed mats provide optimal growing conditions for citrus. Customize your mat with custom widths and lengths, soil warming or cooling chemistry to regulate temperature. Choose from black, white, and green options, with or without water-wicking tramline filaments for efficient irrigation.

Bee Exclusion Nets

Reduce seeds numbers by excluding bees with Extenday Bee Exclusion Netting. Our smart chemistry creates a diffuse light environment, to promote optimal growth. Combining with Extenday Reflective Fabric minimizes any impact on light quality.
