ABSTRACT:
A method for producing a fog to extract freezable moisture from plants and to increase the ambient humidity and temperature surrounding plants comprising the steps of providing a mixture of silicon tetrachloride and an emulsifier in the proportion of between about 20% to 90% of silicon tetrachloride and between about 80% and 10% of emulsifier, combining the silicon tetrachloride-emulsifier mixture with an aqueous ammonia solution containing between 28% and 33% of ammonia in an amount of between about 1 part of the silicon tetrachloride-emulsifier solution to between about 2.5 and 3 parts of the ammonia solution to produce a fog containing ammonium chloride which removes moisture from the plants and increases the ambient humidity surrounding the plants to thereby raise the ambient temperature.
