Plant Antifreeze and Anti-Heat Solutions

Agricultural frost, also known as frost damage, occurs when temperatures drop below the freezing point of water, causing frost to form on plants, soil, and other surfaces. This can have serious consequences for agricultural crops, as frost can damage or kill plants, and reduce crop yields.

The frost types are hoar frost, black frost, and white frost, which can all cause different types and levels of damage. Hoar frost is a type of frost that forms on cold, clear nights when the air is dry, and it is characterized by white, feathery crystals that form on plants, trees, and other surfaces. "Black” frost occurs when the temperature drops below zero but the surrounding air is dry. In this case, ice can’t form on the plant surface but the water between cells freezes quickly and forms large crystals. These large crystals cause permanent damage to the plant cells and the plant becomes discoloured. White frost is a type of frost that forms on cold, wet nights, and it is characterized by white frost crystals that form on plants and other surfaces.

Due to climate change and sudden changes in temperatures, agricultural frosts are becoming more frequent and are starting to happen at unusual times.

TruBiol Plant Antifreeze helps plants to manage abiotic stress by supporting protein synthesis, increasing plants' internal heat, increasing photosynthesis, and helping plants to manage its stress.

TruBiol Plant Antifreeze and Anti-Heat products are designed to be ecological and easy to use. These our products are applied by simple fogging machines and do not leave any chemical residue after the application.

Also, TruBiol Plant Antifreeze and Anti-Heat products do not require initial investments like agricultural irrigation, or wind turbine systems. Also compared to classical solutions that protect for a single night, TruBiol Plant Antifreeze and Anti-Heating solutions protect plants for up to 15 days, not just a single night.

TruBiol Plant Antifreeze and Anti-Heat products do not include toxic chemicals. The formulation of these products includes all plant-based materials and they are safe for the plants when used at the suggested rates.

TruBiol Plant Antifreeze is a concentrated solution and before applying it must be diluted with water. The product can be diluted up to 200 times and applied directly on the plants or crop's surface.

TruBiol product will not work if plants are under cold stress. It is recommended the application should be done around 10:00 or 16:00 above 12 degrees Celsius for glasshouse plants and above 9 degrees Celsius for outdoor plants. If this is not possible, try to use it during the hottest hours of the day.

Please check User Manuel for suggested ratios and conditions based on specific crops and plants.

Agricultural Irrigation is one of the classical ways to manage Agricultural Frost by spraying water over the plants just before the frost. Both this system and TruBiol Plant Antifreeze are easy to use. However, the initial investment is required to set up the systems in the field. Also, regular maintenance is required for the Agricultural Irrigation system to operate which is costly. One of the problems is to set up is system enough water resource is required. On the other hand, TruBiol Plant Antifreeze does not require setup and maintenance costs. Also, TruBiol Plant Antifreeze helps plant to manage their abiotic stress for up to 15 days whereas Agricultural Irrigation must be applied at every frost. TruBiol Plant Antifreeze also is dependent on water resources to be applied. Nutrient leaching is seen at Agricultural Irrigation due to access to water.
