Frost protection measures are crucial for protecting blueberry crops from "summary" of Blueberry Cultivation by Eric Moon
Frost protection measures play a vital role in safeguarding blueberry crops from the potentially devastating effects of cold temperatures. When temperatures drop below freezing, blueberry plants are at risk of suffering damage that can impact their growth and yield. Therefore, it is essential for blueberry growers to implement effective frost protection strategies to mitigate these risks. One common method of frost protection is overhead irrigation, where water is applied to the blueberry plants to create a protective layer of ice.
