Frost Control: Irrigation and Chemical. Irrigation can be used to protect vegetable crops ... With the proper equipment, sprinkling must begin as soon as the temperature reaches 34°F. Place a calibrated thermometer at the lowest point of elevation in the field at plant level, facing skyward. To check the accuracy of the thermometer, place it in a water/crushed-ice mixture, stirring occasionally. After 20 minutes, the thermometer should read 30°F. Sprinkling should continue until the air temperature is above 30°F and the ice has melted from the plants. 2, record 1, English, - frost%20control

Dans le domaine agricole, l'intervention sur les facteurs climatiques s'est jusqu'ici cantonnée à des actions qui tendent essentiellement à modifier artificiellement l'environnement immédiat des plantes. On peut citer en particulier, outre la culture sous serres, les brise-vent tendant à réduire l'évapotranspiration des plantes, l'irrigation, la lutte contre le gel qui peut revêtir diverses formes (nuages artificiels de gouttelettes d'eau, humidification du sol, emploi de brûleurs). 4, record 1, French, - lutte%20antigel
