Covering young avocado ‘Hass’ trees with high-density shading nets during the winter mitigates frost damage and improves tree performance

Abstract: Key message Covering young ‘Hass’ trees with Silver 60% shading nets during cold winters mitigates frost damage and improves tree performance, apparently through a mechanism other than increasing nighttime air temperature. Abstract Avocado is a commercially important subtropical evergreen fruit tree. Severe frost may damage foliage, floral buds, flowers and fruit, thereby reducing avocado crop yield and restricting its geographical distribution and expansi… Show more

“…Physiological and biochemical aspects of the response of avocado 'Hass' to chilling and frost/freezing have been studied (Joshi et al, 2020;Chung et al, 2022;Weil et al, 2022), focusing on photosynthetic performance, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. Possible horticultural means for mitigating frost damage in 'Hass' orchards include wind machines or highdensity shading nets (Lahak et al, 2024;Bar-Noy et al, 2019). Various foliar treatments have also been shown to be beneficial for 'Hass' under cold (chilling/frost/freezing) conditions (Joshi et al, 2020;Lemmer et al, 2022;Zilkah et al, 1996;Tiwari et al, 2023).…”
