Apricot and peach are species with a short dormancy, being able to start growing season even in February; the resistance of the trees to frosts and late frosts during this period is reduced. The risk is even higher in the south-east of the country where the probability of thermal amplitudes is very high, both during February and March. Although it is an important phenomenon, the information’s of how to protect trees from frost are relatively limited. There is a need for information to support orchards owners to approach this issue. The purpose of this paper was to apply measures and methods to combat this phenomenon in intensive apricot and peach orchards, measures that contribute to "saving" fruit production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
