When the temperature drops and there\u2019s a frost or freeze warning, instead of worrying about the losses, take a look at how you can prevent damage. Here\u2019s our quick guide to frost protection.<\/p>\n<h3>How Water Protects Crops from Frost<\/h3>\n<p>It might sound counterintuitive, but watering when the temperature drops to freezing or below can actually protect your crops from frost and freeze damage. Heat fusion is the key and occurs when the air temperature drops below 32\u00b0, and the freezing water coats the plants. The process of water freezing is what produces the heat.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The irrigation system runs as temperatures drop<\/li>\n<li>Water on the plants freezes, creating a reaction that releases heat under the ice, creating a 2\u00b0 to 5\u00b0 buffer<\/li>\n<li>The heat given off as water turns to ice and protects the plant from the freezing air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What You Need<\/h3>\n<p>When using irrigation to protect plants and crops from frost, the ice must be clear and drip from the plants. If the ice solidifies and turns milky-colored, there isn\u2019t enough water to protect from frost. You\u2019ll need to boost water application. The ice and dripping water should be uniform across the plants, and the irrigation should be continuous. Increase the amount of water as the temperature drops and continue irrigation until the air temperature rises above 32\u00b0 and the ice melts.<\/p>\n<p>Frost protection during the winter months is critical to your crops\u2019 survival.
