When burning, the smoke tube releases heat, water vapor, and paraffin fumes, creating a protective microclimate in the area where the smoke spreads.
Using the FumAgro smoke tube minimizes the risk of crop damage from frost, with a reaction time of just a few minutes after ignition. The generated smoke contains purified paraffin vapors.
When these vapors come into contact with plants, they crystallize and form a thin film that protects the plants from frost for 2–3 hours. Even after the tube has burned out, the protective layer of paraffin remains on the plant surfaces, providing additional protection.

Against the main enemy of the harvest – spring and autumn frosts!
Spring and autumn frosts often cause significant crop losses. Even a brief drop in air temperature to –1…–3 °C can damage tender shoots, flowers, and young fruit set. Fruit trees, vineyards, vegetable crops, and ornamental plants are particularly vulnerable.
When burning, FumAgro releases heat, water vapor, and purified paraffin fumes. They create a microclimate that:
- raises the temperature at the plant surface;
- prevents ice formation;
- leaves a thin paraffin film that retains heat for up to 3 hours.
Result of FUMAGRO: plants remain protected even after the smoke has dissipated.
Why
choose FumAgro?
choose FumAgro?
FUMAGRO is based on a technology that creates a local microclimate using heat, water vapor, and purified paraffin. It combines effectiveness, ease of use, and environmental safety.

Easy to use!
Using the FumAgro smoke tube requires no special equipment or preparation. Just follow a few simple steps, and within minutes, your plants will be reliably protected. The tube is placed directly in the garden or field, burns safely, and produces dense warm smoke that evenly envelops the plants. Even after it has completely burned out, the protective effect lasts for several hours thanks to the thin paraffin film.
Put on protective gloves. Carefully remove the smoke tube from its packaging.
Light the fuse with a gas torch. After ignition, immediately move back to a safe distance (at least 2–3 m). Do not leave the smoke tube unattended while it is burning.
In rare cases, if the smoke tube goes out on its own, it may be carefully re-lit with a gas torch.
In rare cases, a small flame may appear while the smoke tube is burning due to contact with oxygen. Simply blow it out or cover it with a small flat object, and the smoke production will continue normally.
Remove the top film following the direction of the arrow. This will expose the fuse.
Place the tube vertically on a flat, firm, and non-flammable surface.
Make sure there are no dry plants or flammable materials within a 1-meter radius of the smoke tube’s placement.
Eco-friendly
KNO₃
composition
FumAgro is made from natural and proven components, safe for humans, plants, and the environment. Its main active ingredient is potassium nitrate (KNO₃), a substance widely used in agriculture as a mineral fertilizer. When burned, it releases heat, water vapor, and oxygen, maintaining stable combustion and enhancing the protective effect.
The resulting smoke contains no toxic compounds, heavy metals, or sulfur. It is completely safe for plants, does not damage leaves, flowers, or fruit set, and does not affect the quality or taste of the future harvest.
After burning, a thin paraffin film remains on the plant surfaces, retaining heat and naturally breaking down under the influence of sunlight and moisture, leaving no residue.
FumAgro meets environmental standards and can be used even in areas with strict product purity requirements — in gardens, greenhouses, and vineyards.

The FumAgro smoke tube can be used in nearly all segments of crop production — from small private gardens to large-scale orchards and vineyards. It is especially effective during low temperatures in critical stages of plant development: bud break, flowering, fruit set, and the emergence of young shoots.
Fruit Orchards
Fruit orchards are especially sensitive to short-term spring and autumn frosts, which can damage buds, flowers, and young fruit set. During critical stages of plant development — bud break, flowering, and fruit formation — even a slight drop in temperature can lead to partial or total crop loss.
Young trees and newly planted saplings are particularly vulnerable to returning frosts, so timely protection with a smoke tube helps minimize the risk of damage and preserves the fruiting potential.

Vegetable Crops
Potatoes — young shoots die at temperatures below –1 °C, leading to crop loss or the need for replanting. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants — heat-loving crops — cannot tolerate even short-term drops below 0 °C.
Cucumbers, zucchinis, and other squash crops — frosts can destroy early-stage plantings. Cabbage family crops (cauliflower, broccoli) — are sensitive during the seedling stage and when transplanted into open fields.

Young Plantings and Greenhouse Operations
In the first 2–3 years after planting, trees and shrubs are less resistant to temperature stress.
In greenhouse complexes, smoke tubes can be used in open areas or in tunnels with good ventilation. This helps reduce the risk during unexpected cold snaps.

Vineyards
Young vines and green shoots are severely affected when temperatures drop below –1 °C.
The greatest risk occurs during bud break, the emergence of the first leaves, and the early flowering stage. Damage at this time slows vine development and reduces the season’s yield.
The smoke tube is especially effective on terraced vineyards and open slopes, where nighttime temperatures can drop sharply.

Berry Crops
Berry crops are particularly sensitive to short-term frosts, which can occur in the spring. Flowers, fruit set, and young shoots of berry bushes are extremely vulnerable to temperature drops, as even a brief decrease to –1 °C can negatively affect pollination and fruit formation.
Pollen loses viability, flowers are damaged, and fruit set may drop, leading to a significant reduction in yield. Frosts also slow shoot growth and delay fruit ripening, impacting both the quality and quantity of the harvest.

Ornamental Plants and Nurseries
Young coniferous and deciduous seedlings, as well as flowering shrubs (hydrangea, lilac, magnolia), are affected even by brief cold spells.
Nurseries often grow rare and valuable plants, and loss due to frost can be extremely costly.
