Abstract
This dissertation addresses the challenge of spring frost damage in fruit orchards. Frost events during the growing season can cause significant damage to blossoms and young fruit, leading to substantial yield losses. The study evaluates two protective strategies to mitigate such damage: 1) the use of wind machines and 2) the manipulation of surface vegetation. Both approaches are investigated through experimental observations and conceptual modelling.....
