Cropaid AntiFrost® was featured in Vineyard Magazine

Spring frosts devastate vineyards annually, and so, we decided it was about time that we began to spread word about our products in the UK vineyard market.

“Fresh in many of our memories are the devastating frosts of May 2020, and the chills of 2021 – with cruel low temperatures that descended on the new, tender vine tissues causing irreparable damage. With such valuable crops, and to avoid sleepless nights, Vineyard speaks to some of the companies offering frost protection measures.

The 2020 WineGB frost survey, reported in the January 2021 edition of Vineyard magazine, carried out by Stephen Skelton, chair of the WineGB viticulture working group and Steve Wain from Mapman, revealed that from the 198 separate frost reports received 60% of these claimed that they had no frost protection in place. Despite good site selection to avoid frost pockets, there may be areas that are prone to frost, depressions or low-lying corners where the cold air can settle. Active frost protection measures include irrigation and sprinkler protection, biological stimulation, as well as physical heat from candles, and fans to raise air temperature. All at a cost, but these have to be considered against the financial implications of crop losses.”
