Extreme cold can be one of the greatest threats to agricultural crops, especially during cold winter nights or the first frosts of the season. Low temperatures can irreversibly damage plants, reducing their yield and, in some cases, destroying them completely.
To address this climate challenge, DNT Agro‘s Thermal Crop Cover for Agriculture has become an essential tool for protecting crops from the cold. This product is designed to maintain plant temperatures at optimal levels, preventing frost damage and promoting healthy growth.
How to combat frost in your crops?
Frost can be unpredictable, so farmers must be prepared to protect their crops at any time.
One of the most effective ways to combat the cold is through the use of thermal crop cover, which act as an insulating layer that maintains warmth throughout the night.
Our thermal crop cover protects plants from low temperatures, preventing the water contained in plant cells from freezing and causing structural damage.
In addition, thermal crop cover can help reduce the need for other costly or labor-intensive methods, such as artificial heating or continuous irrigation.
How to install the thermal crop cover to combat the cold and when?
Installing the Thermal Crop Cover is very simple and quick, allowing farmers to efficiently protect their crops without wasting time.
To install it, simply cover the plants or rows of crops with the crop cover, ensuring that it completely covers the base of the plants up to the branches or top of the crop. It’s important that the blanket is well spread and tight, leaving no gaps where heat can escape.
As for the right time to use it, it is recommended to place the crop cover before the temperature drops too low, preferably in the evening or when cold or frosty nights are anticipated.
Remove the blanket during the day so the plants receive sunlight and don’t overheat.
Benefits of the thermal crop cover
The use of thermal blankets offers a variety of benefits for crops. First, it protects plants from frost damage, ensuring that the cold doesn’t affect their development or reduce their productivity. Furthermore, the DNT Non woven Fabrics thermal blanket helps maintain a constant temperature around plants, which promotes growth and photosynthesis.
Another important benefit is the reduction in energy and resource use, as it prevents the need for excessive heating or irrigation systems to counteract the cold.
Finally, thermal crop cover are reusable, making them an economical and environmentally friendly option for farmers.
