Frost protection FreezePruf from The Liquid Fence Company is a revolutionary new frost and freeze protector. This biodegradable frost/freeze protector spray improves a plant’s cold tolerance up to 9°F, depending on the plant. FreezePruf’s formulation and mode of action add a half-USDA Zone equivalent or more to a plant’s cold tolerance range. FreezePruf protects the foliage and flower, both externally and systemically. It enhances the plant’s natural mechanisms to resist freeze damage, shielding it from ice crystal damage, and increases its ability to survive cold temperatures by reducing the freezing point of water inside the tissues of the plant. It’s available in quart and gallon ready-to-use and concentrates. READER SERVICE #69
Drip tape Toro Micro-Irrigation has launched the latest breakthrough in drip irrigation technology – Aqua-Traxx with the PBX Advantage.

Aqua-Traxx is also available in a 4 mil wall thickness as well as 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15 mil for tougher applications. There are 8 emitter flow rates in the Aqua-Traxx product family, ranging from the ultra-low (0.07 gph) to the ultra-high (0.34 gph) flow emitters. READER SERVICE #70
