- More about Frost: Stress Mitigation in Subtropical Fruit Orchards
Subtropical regions experience hot summers and cold winters, making frost a significant threat to fruit crop cultivation. This book provides information on managing frost, including an overview of frost and its impact, orchard energy balance, plant tissue damage mechanisms, and biomolecular aspects of plant defense. It offers practical aspects and elaborations derived from open field studies, keeping growers' perspectives in mind.

Subtropical regions, situated between the temperate and tropical latitudes on both sides of the equator, experience both hot summers and cold or frosty winters. These regions are particularly vulnerable to frost damage, particularly in the NW sub-Himalayan areas and the adjacent plains. Despite advancements in agricultural research and crop production practices, effective frost protection technology is still lacking. Researchers worldwide are working diligently to address this issue, and this book is a collection of information developed by the author and others globally on managing frost. It aims to increase understanding of frost, frost-induced freezing, and the options available for mitigating its effects. In addition to providing an overview of frost and its impact on subtropical fruit plantations, the book offers a simplified version of information on orchard energy balance, plant tissue damage mechanisms, and biomolecular aspects of plant defense. The practical aspects and elaborations derived from open field studies, keeping growers' perspectives in mind, are included while discussing crop frost sensitivity, damage symptoms, frost prediction, frost-prone area delineation, and frost impact mitigation. Therefore, this book is a comprehensive account of both the theoretical and practical aspects of frost and its impact mitigation, tailored to the needs of growers.
