Applying current knowledge to inform grower decision making to mitigate the impact of frost, now and in the future
The purpose of this investment is to extend and apply the outcomes of previous research and development (R&D) relating to frost and share and build knowledge that will inform grower and advisor decisions relating to pre-season planning, in-season management and post-frost event responses. The priority for this investment is growers in localities intermittently affected by frost, who are inexperienced and underprepared to manage the effects on their profitability. If the frost season is mild and few events are required, pre-season planning workshops can also be included.
