Ecological aerosol curtains for plant protection
Instead of regular smoke, it is suggested to usecontrolled natural aerosols, consisting mainly of microdroplets of water, water vapor, natural mineral particles and biologically safe components.
This system performs several functions at once:
reduces heat loss at night;
reduces solar radiation during the day;
reduces evaporation;
protects young plants;
increases air humidity;
serves as a carrier of beneficial microorganisms (if necessary).
DREVO Frost Shield (winter)
The main task
Create a light aerosol curtain over plantings during radiation frosts.
Proposed composition
Base
water vapor;
microdroplets of water (5–30 µm).
Mineral fraction
natural kaolin;
bentonite;
very fine limestone powder (food grade);
diatomite.
Biological additives
wood extracts;
humic substances (in small concentrations);
Natural polysaccharides to stabilize the aerosol.
Effect
reduction of thermal radiation of plants;
slow cooling;
increase in humidity;
reduction of frost formation;
reduction of temperature fluctuations.
DREVO Summer Shield (summer)
The main task is to reduce solar load.
Base
cold water fog;
ultra-fine droplets;
natural ventilation.
Mineral suspension
Very low concentrations:
kaolin;
bentonite;
diatomite;
cellulose microparticles.
After settling, such materials can even reduce sunburn on leaves and fruits. In horticulture, kaolin suspensions are already used as a protective coating.
Possible natural colors
If a visual effect is needed for system control or special demonstrations, it is safer to use natural colors rather than pyrotechnic dyes.
| Color | Possible source |
|---|---|
| White | water mist, kaolin, limestone |
| Light beige | bentonite |
| Light gray | diatomite |
| Light brown | humic substances (very low concentration) |
| Bluish | the effect of light scattering in a fine water mist |
Bright red, green, blue or yellow smoke is not recommended for use in fields and forests due to the need to use dyes that can pollute the environment.
Additional functions
The following can be introduced into the aerosol:
beneficial microorganisms;
mycorrhizal spores;
biological fungicides;
safe microelements;
pheromones for pest monitoring;
natural repellents.
This turns the system not only into a means of climate protection, but also into a tool for biological support of plants.
DREVO Smart Climate Cloud
The intelligent system automatically selects the operating mode.
Night mode
minimum density aerosol;
heat retention;
frost protection.
Daytime routine
cooling water mist;
reduction of solar radiation;
reduction of evaporation;
protection of young plants.
Dry conditions
increasing air humidity;
minimizing water consumption;
local cooling.
Emergency mode
enhanced protection of young plantings at extreme temperatures.
Aerosol sources
Instead of fires the following can be used:
mobile aerosol guns;
cold fog generators;
steam generators;
fans with spray system;
drones;
autonomous robotic platforms DREVO;
stationary towers along gardens and forest belts.
The main principle
The future of plant protection isn't smoke from campfires, but intelligent, eco-friendly aerosol clouds that simultaneously protect plants, save water, and don't pollute the environment.
