When air temperatures fall below freezing point, sensitive crops can be injured, with significant effects on production. This publication discusses the distribution, economies, history, physical and biological aspects of frost damage, together with methods of protection. It contains a broad range of information but was mainly written to help growers to better understand freeze protection and to develop strategies to combat crop losses due to freezing. A related volume which focuses on concepts of probability and risk of frost damage is available separately (ISBN 9251053294).
