Methods for protecting vineyards and orchards from early frosts

Abstract

The article discusses the main means of protection against frost: overcrown sprinkler, undercrown sprinkler, smoke, wind turbines. Also mentioned are some protections that are more applicable in small areas. European projects were considered, within the framework of which the modernization of frost protection systems was carried out based on the use of the latest digital technologies. In areas of vineyards and orchards, sensors are placed that measure the necessary climatic parameters. The data is transmitted to computer centers, where, with the help of special prognostic models, an operational, operational frost forecast is issued. This enables farmers to organize protection in a timely manner
