Josh Talks More about Frost Protection
Josh Freeman remembers the first time I had a professor teach about frost protection, "I didn’t grasp the concept." These is from one of our customers protecting blueberries in east Georgia last week. It’s a thing of beauty in the morning.
Cold Mornings in Georgia Need Frost Protection
This past week had many cold mornings in Georgia. Thankfully these blueberry bushes are protected from the frost with this frost protection system installed by Triest Ag.
About Frost Protection:
Low temperatures under 32°F (0°C) and freezing conditions present a great threat to crop growth and could result in partial or total losses if not handled appropriately.
Sprinkler irrigation can provide the highest level of protection when compared to a vast majority of currently available systems. It is also one of the most economical frost control alternatives.
A sprinkler system's energy consumption is considerably less than what growers normally would spend with heaters and other electrical equipment. The labor requirements are less when compared to these other methods and it is relatively non-polluting.
