ENVY FROST PROTECTANT 5LT AGROBEST MENVYL06
Envy is a frost protector and anti-transpirant, which can substantially reduce moisture losses by up to 50%, eliminate sun and windburn damage as well as increase frost tolerance by an additional 4 Degrees.
Envy will not impede plant growth or photosynthesis, is non-toxic, pH neutral and will biodegrade in sunlight.
Envy Protects Plants From:
Excessive moisture loss
Frost stress
Guards against Sunburn
Salt spray & Windburn
Wilting in hot dry conditions
Transplanting losses
How Envy Works:
When Envy is applied to a plant, it adheres and forms an invisible semi-permeable membrane over the leaf surface.
Even in non-freezing conditions, the Envy bio-shield helps protect plants from environmental-related stresses.
The membrane permits the plant to "breathe".
As a result pass oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ethylene gas and at the same time effectively slows down the loss of water and water vapour through transpiration from the leaf surfaces.
By spraying Envy to achieve complete coverage of the plant (on both sides of leaves) the amount of moisture lost through transpiration is reduced by as much as 50%.
Frost Protection:
It has been demonstrated that this reduction of moisture loss is directly related to the prevention of winterkill.
Research has shown that a plant with full turgidity ie. Filled with water - can survive periods of below-freezing temperatures very well.
Freeze damage to a plant occurs when ice crystals form around various bacteria present on all types of foliage.
This causes the ice nucleation that initiates the freeze damage.
When Envy has hardened on the plant it shields the leaf surface by forming a physical barrier to ice-nucleating bacteria.
Active Ingredient:
Carboxylated Hydrophilic Polymer
Common Questions
What does Envy Frost Protectant do?
Envy is a frost protector and anti-transpirant that forms an invisible semi-permeable membrane over leaf surfaces. It helps reduce moisture loss, protect plants from frost stress, sunburn, windburn, salt spray and wilting in hot dry conditions, and minimises transplanting losses. The membrane allows plants to breathe while slowing water loss through the leaves.
How does Envy work?
When applied and allowed to harden on the plant, Envy creates a physical barrier on the leaf surface. This semi-permeable membrane permits oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene gas to pass through, so photosynthesis and plant growth aren't impeded. At the same time, it effectively slows the loss of water and water vapour through transpiration. This helps maintain plant turgidity, which is essential for surviving freezing temperatures.
Will Envy harm my plants?
No. Envy is non-toxic and will not impede plant growth or photosynthesis. It is pH neutral and will biodegrade in sunlight, so it breaks down naturally over time without leaving harmful residues.
How do I apply Envy?
For best results, spray Envy to achieve complete coverage of the plant, including both sides of the leaves.
