It is a natural sediment that is formed thanks to the action of water on the stones, after a process of meteoric degradation.  It has an unmistakable white color and a very fine consistency after extraction and subsequent processing.<br \/>It is sprayed on the foliage of the trees to counteract the main parasite of the olive grove, namely the <u>oil fly<\/u>.  The olive trees treated with kaolin have white leaves.  Already this chromatic alteration means that the olive fly is no longer interested in the drupes.  In addition, kaolin creates a real mechanical protection effect, with the formation of a protective patina that prevents parasites from laying eggs.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-652\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad medrectangle-3 medrectangle-3652 adtester-container adtester-container-652\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-medrectangle-3\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-medrectangle-3-0\" ezaw=\"580\" ezah=\"400\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:400px;min-width:580px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Pregi_e_difetti\">Pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>In addition to these direct effects on the fly, kaolin protects the plant from excessive insolation, avoiding dangerous burns.

This allows the rock flours to dissolve well in water and to be sprayed without problems using the vaporizing tools used in agriculture.  The type of tool used, of course, depends on how big the vegetable garden or orchard (olive grove or vineyard) is to be sprayed.  They range from simple <u>knapsack, manual or electric pumps (like these)<\/u>up to the most professional sprayers that are hooked to the tractor and are activated with the power of their driving force.<br \/>In both cases, after using rock dust, it is advisable to carefully clean the tools and, in particular, the nozzles.
