Inviting Growers

Spring frost is one of the most damaging and unpredictable threats in viticulture. FrostDefense™ One is a new biodegradable coating that protects dormant buds by delaying bud break and strengthening natural cold hardiness.

 

After 5 years of successful trials, we are now expanding pre-commercial vineyard partnerships for 2026-2027. Participation is free!
