Frost Guard 1L Concentrate
Enhance frost protection..

Summary: 
Frost Guard is a blend of liquid seaweed and electrolytes which increases frost resistance in a wide range of crops. It also can be used, with care, to reduce heat stress. The use of Frost Guard as a frost protectant can be regarded as “limited insurance” against loss due to frost. It should be remembered that no strategy is 100% guaranteed to eliminate frost damage and other procedures such as removing mulch and trash are helpful in managing frost. Liquid seaweed is extensively used in the fruit industry both in Australia and overseas. For frost damage reduction liquid seaweed is used early in the season.

Key Features:

  • Helps prevent frost guard from damaging plants and fruits.
  • In many situations, it can increase plant frost tolerance by 2-3 degrees C.
  • In conjunction with Seaweed Gold – it can:
    • Increase chlorophyl production.
    • Increase nutrient uptake.
    • Increase a plants ability to deal with water stress.
    • Increase tree vigor.

Summary: 
Frost Guard is a blend of liquid seaweed and electrolytes which increases frost resistance in a wide range of crops. It also can be used, with care, to reduce heat stress. The use of Frost Guard as a frost protectant can be regarded as “limited insurance” against loss due to frost. It should be remembered that no strategy is 100% guaranteed to eliminate frost damage and other procedures such as removing mulch and trash are helpful in managing frost. Seaweed Gold is extensively used in the fruit industry both in Australia and overseas. For frost damage reduction liquid seaweed is used early in the season.

Background:
In grapes, early application of liquid seaweed will lead to increased rachis stretch. It is also possible to increase fruit set by application of liquid seaweed. The use of liquid seaweeds later in the season can lead to an array of other benefits, such as increased yields and better keeping quality of fruit.

In typical situations Frost Guard can increase frost tolerance by 2-3 degrees C in stone fruit, apples and pears. In grapes the increase in frost tolerance is similar provided the shoots are less than 10 cm. At later stages of growth in vines the increase in frost tolerance is about 1.5 degrees C. For wheat and canola the increase in frost tolerance is greater but depends on the growth stage of the crop.

Frost Guard contains additional nutrients such as added potassium and a small amount of phosphorus which have additional beneficial effects. When potassium and phosphorus are applied as foliar sprays, they are rapidly absorbed into the foliage with minimal loss. Because of its high potassium level, its use may increase fruit set.

Types of application
Typically applied to fruit and crops to reduce the risk of frost.  

Application Rates:
Apply 40mL to 9L of Water. Apply every 12 days throughout frost danger period.
