Bacteria from Antarctica Protect Vines from Frost - Approval Expected by Year-End
Scientists have discovered that bacteria from Antarctica can dramatically reduce frost damage in vineyards, cutting losses by 80% even at minus 4 degrees Celsius. The bacteria work by preventing ice formation on vines while remaining completely biodegradable and harmless to the vineyard's natural ecosystem. Regulatory approval is expected by the end of the year, which could soon make this a game-changer for frost-threatened regions around the world.
