Temperatures that cause freeze injury to winter wheat at different growth stages. Winter wheat rapidly loses hardiness during spring growth and is easily injured by late freezes.... Late freezing usually injures only certain parts of the wheat head and rarely kills the whole plant, plants may continue to absorb nitrate from the soil but do not have any developing grain to utilize the nitrogen. Nitrate might accumulate under those conditions and poison livestock unless the feed is diluted with adequate quantities of low-nitrate feed. 2, record 4, English, - late%20frost

Once an appropriate species has been chosen, planting should be timed to avoid early frost or late frost ... Avoid planting valley bottoms prone to cold air drainage and radiative frost until later in the season. Although these sites may be snow free early in the spring, depending upon the species, they should not be planted until after the risk of frost has passed. 3, record 4, English, - late%20frost

Les gelées de printemps, en particulier les gelées tardives (ainsi qu'en automne, les gelées précoces) sont également très graves, car elles se produisent à un moment où les végétaux sont en pleine activité (notamment les arbres fruitiers en fleur); mais leur localisation dans le temps comme dans l'espace permet une certaine lutte. En général, ces gelées revêtent un caractère local dû à l'absence de vent et au drainage de l'air froid et ont peu de conséquences au niveau national tout en restant très graves au niveau de l'exploitant. 2, record 4, French, - gel%C3%A9e%20tardive

Grubbing is an expensive method of eradication and is practical only for small areas where the entire root or enough of it can easily be removed to kill the plant. This method would not generally be feasible for the eradication of plants that propagate by running root stocks, especially after they have become well established. 2, record 5, English, - creeping%20root

Le typha latifolia est le plus commun. Sa masse est formée de feuilles larges de 1 mm et longues parfois de plus de 2 mètres, ce qui en fait une plante parfaite pour donner de la hauteur au plan d'eau. Comme toutes les massettes, le typha latifolia possède une racine traçante qui permet de coloniser rapidement des zones importantes; il faut donc être prudent au niveau de la bâche de l'étang. 6, record 5, French, - racine%20tra%C3%A7ante
