FrostStrat – Strategy for the reduction of late frost damage in wine and fruit growing
Abstract
The frost protection measures presently applied in wine and fruit growing are examined in this project for their actual effect. They are improved and new measures are developed. In addition to that a digital tool is developed in the course of the project, which links data and information in an intelligent way and delivers forecasts as well as recommendations for actions for farms. By means of this tool wine and fruit growers can protect themselves in a better way against yield losses due to frost damage. In particular, the IWOB group at BOKU will explore the efficacy of using budbreak delaying products as strategy to avoid or reduce the negative impacts of late spring frost events.
