Abstract:Adaptation to climate change in response to changes in snow cover has led to the development of snow control technology on agricultural fields in Hokkaido. In the control of the soil frost depth and freezing to death of potato tuber leftovers in harvesting during the subsequent cultivation, winter wheat has been an effective countermeasure in crop rotation systems in Hokkaido. We investigated a method used to control soil frost depth by snow compaction (yuki-fumi) to balance between killing potatoes and growin… Show more
