AntiFrost® - Increases Plant Resistance to Cold and Frost

Product Information

Plants naturally protect themselves from the cold and frost by producing their own anti-freeze proteins. Some produce more than others based on their genetic properties and the environment they grow in.

CropAid AntiFrost® contains thiobacillus bacteria and their produce of rusticyanin, oxaloacetic acid, and pyruvic acid. These are mixed with a special blend of minerals within the formulation.

When the product is applied to plants, it is absorbed through the stomata of the leaves, stems, and roots which stimulates photosynthesis and the biochemical reactions of the plant’s natural Krebs Cycle. This then leads to the production of the plant’s own anti-freeze proteins and glycoproteins. These proteins interact with the water within plant cells, which reduces or stops ice nucleation, thus preventing cell rupture and death.

After the cold and frost stress is over, the surplus anti-freeze proteins will be converted into sugars, oils, vitamins, and proteins which the plant then consumes. This stimulates the growth of more buds and foliage, hence increasing the quality and yield of the plant.

The effect can last up to 14 days per application but is most effective within 48 hours after applications and within the surface where the product is applied.

CropAid AntiFrost® contains thiobacillus subspecies and minerals used by these bacteriums. For this reason, it is ecological and natural.

CropAid AntiFrost® was trialed by ADAS UK in 2006, confirming its efficacy.
