Wallys Spray on Frost Protection is a unique combination of plant nutrients and beneficial microbes providing immune support to protect your precious plants.

Spray day before a likelihood of frost at 50 mils per litre of water.

One month later spray at 25 mils per litre of water and repeat monthly till frost season is over.

Wallys Spray on Frost Protection is a unique combination of plant nutrients and beneficial microbes providing immune support to protect your precious plants.

This unique group of beneficial microbes also provide Frost protection for most crops. 

A little know fact is that ice particles form around a nucleus and that nucleus is most often bacteria. We use a beneficial group of organisms that out compete these Ice nucleating bacteria, and this is very effective at reducing virtually all frost damage from crops. It has proven more effective than wind, water or frost cloth as these rely on altering the temperature not the cause of the frost damage.

Frost Protection in Crops: The Role of Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Pseudomonas fluorescens, a species of bacteria, has been the subject of extensive research due to its potential applications in sustainable agriculture. One of the most promising applications of P. fluorescens is its ability to control frost damage in crops. This article delves deeper into the benefits of using P. fluorescens.

Pseudomonas fluorescens: A Natural Frost Protector

Pseudomonas fluorescens has been found to significantly reduce frost damage in crops. Research conducted in Australia and worldwide has reported up to an 99% reduction in frost damage at temperatures as low as -15°C. This significant reduction in frost damage has led to reported increases in yield ranging from 25-100% for numerous crops across many regions.

Mechanism of Action

The mechanism by which P. fluorescens achieves this remarkable feat is through a process known as ice nucleation activity (INA). Certain strains (not all) of P. fluorescens are known as INA- bacteria, meaning they lack the genes responsible for the production of ice-nucleating proteins (INPs). These INPs are critical in frost injury as they provide a suitable nucleus for ice formation.

P. fluorescens strain, an INA- bacterium, has been found to have efficient activity at temperatures ranging from -8 to -15°C. This means that this strain of P. fluorescens can effectively prevent frost damage in crops even at these low temperatures.

 A Game Changer

Wallys Spray on Frost Protection product is a unique blend that includes an INA strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens. This product offers a natural solution to frost damage, providing protection for most crops. It outcompetes ice nucleating bacteria, effectively reducing virtually all frost damage from crops. It has proven more effective than wind, water or frost cloth as these rely on altering the temperature not the cause of the frost damage.

Early season blossoms and flower buds can be protected against late frosts by a 50 mil per litre spray the day before a heavy late frost is possible.

That will ensure you dont wipe out your crop with a late frost.
