Frost Management
Frost management refers to techniques used to protect crops from damage caused by frost. Frost can occur when temperatures drop below freezing, leading to ice formation on plants. Farmers often use methods such as frost blankets, wind machines, or irrigation to create a warmer microclimate around their crops, helping to prevent frost damage.
Effective frost management is crucial for maintaining crop yields and quality. By monitoring weather conditions and employing these protective strategies, farmers can minimize the risk of losing their harvests. Understanding local climate patterns also plays a key role in planning for potential frost events.
