How to protect fruit from frost damage?
The final report of this Focus Group has been published.
Find all the information at a glance in the 'Protecting fruit production from frost damage' factsheet.
Tasks:
- Assess existing methods and tools and how they can be used to better anticipate and take action to protect fruit against frost; identify good practices and success stories from various European areas, specifically taking into account farmers' and advisers' experiences.
- Compare different management practices and tools considering the feasibility and cost-effectiveness at individual farm level or through collective approaches; identifying the opportunities (such as knowledge requirements, crucial partnerships) and technical/economic barriers that can hinder their uptake or development.
- Identify how these practices may be transferred to other conditions (e.g. location, model or type of production). Consider the role played by advisory systems.
- Identify innovative approaches combining scientific and practical knowledge with new business models.
- Identify further research needs from practice and possible gaps in technical knowledge.
- Suggest innovative solutions and provide ideas for Operational Groups and other innovative projects.
