If light to mild frost is predicted, use PlantForce to protect young flowers, shoots, and plants from potential damage. The unique combination of harpine, calcium, magnesium, and silicon strengthens plant cells, activates the defense system, and lowers the freezing point. This results in less frost damage and faster plant recovery.
The early growth phase of plants is a vulnerable time. Especially in spring, when flower buds and young shoots are developing, light to mild frost can cause significant damage. Our biostimulant PlantForce is specially designed to strengthen plants during this critical stage. The product increases natural frost tolerance, helping plants withstand temperature stress better and recover faster.
What is PlantForce?
PlantForce is a biostimulant made from harpine, calcium, magnesium, and silicon. This powerful combination stimulates the plant’s natural defense mechanism, strengthens cell walls, and supports cell division. The result? Stronger plants that are better able to handle stress factors like cold.
How does PlantForce work as frost protection?
Harpine activates the defense system: Harpine proteins trigger a growth and stress response in the plant, helping it absorb calcium, magnesium, and silicon more effectively. This boosts nutrient levels in leaves and flowers. Combined with quick juice movement, this reduces ice crystal formation in plant juices, leading to higher frost tolerance.
Calcium strengthens cell walls: Calcium is essential for strong cell walls, which is especially important during frost. Freezing can damage cells, but by maintaining calcium levels, cell walls stay firm and resilient, allowing the plant to better handle temperature changes.
Magnesium provides energy and recovery: Magnesium plays a crucial role in photosynthesis and cell division. After light frost damage, plants need magnesium to recover. PlantForce ensures the plant gets enough magnesium, so damaged parts can regenerate quickly and the plant stays healthy.
Silicon adds strength and protection: Silicon is important for the structural strength of plants. It gets absorbed into cell walls, making them thicker and stronger. This helps plants better withstand extreme temperatures like frost. Silicon also improves water regulation, helping the plant avoid drying out during cold spells. By strengthening the cell structure, silicon enhances the plant’s resilience and speeds up recovery after frost damage.
Benefits of PlantForce for light to mild frost
PlantForce offers several benefits for protecting against light to mild frost. It strengthens the plant’s cell structures, making it more resistant to freezing. By increasing the dissolved substances in cells, frost damage is reduced. Plus, PlantForce helps the plant recover faster after a cold period. All of this happens without residue or chemical load, allowing the plant to naturally boost its resilience.
Application advice
For best results, apply PlantForce 18 to 36 hours before the expected cold period, giving the plant enough time to activate its defense mechanism and adjust its cell structure.
Dosage
1.5-2 kg per hectare as foliar application.
Note! PlantForce provides protection against light to mild frost (around -2 to -3 °C). Do not mix with copper or sulfur.
