frost prevention
Stopping ice formation
Frost prevention refers to methods used to protect plants, crops, or equipment from damage caused by freezing temperatures.
Common techniques include covering plants, using heaters or fans to circulate air, and watering fields before cold nights—since water releases heat as it freezes.
Farmers monitor weather forecasts closely during frost prevention season.
