FrostDefense Envirotech Inc. is an NSF-funded startup revolutionizing frost protection for vineyards and orchards. Our biodegradable coating tackles the $1 billion annual loss from early spring frosts in the U.S. By encapsulating buds, we delay bud break up to 14 days and increase cold resistance by 6°C, reducing frost damage risk by 70%. Our coating, combined with predictive analytics, offers a sustainable alternative to carbon-intensive or toxic methods. FrostDefense not only protects primary shoots but also mitigates “silent damage,” preventing up to 40% yield loss. We’re empowering growers with an eco-friendly, effective solution to safeguard their crops and livelihoods against unpredictable spring frosts.
