Frost protection

In the first year, potato tubers and young plants of brassicas, zucchini, and pumpkins can be planted through the mulch into the soil, in pockets loosened with a trowel mix in some compost if available. Initially, plants may need more frost protection than usual, as the mulch cuts off some of the warmth of the sun, making the soil radiate back less heat at night. Cover plants with horticultural fleece alternatively, plant a little later in the year. 

Lift and leave exposed to dry for a few hours. Store in thick paper sacks, tied or folded loosely at the neck. Potatoes must be stored in the dark to prevent them from turning green and developing high levels of solanine, a toxic alkaloid. Frost protection is essential. Ideal storage temperature is 41-50°F (5-10°C).

Additional reasons to manage weeds in ornamental plants and conifer trees include fire protection, frost protection, rodent and disease mitigation, nutrient management, and aesthetics. Uncontrolled weeds and brush become serious fire hazards in the fall or early spring when herbaceous weeds are dry. Plantations of conifers have been lost because weeds were not controlled and fires started. Fires are less destructive when herbaceous vegetation is controlled.

The legal aspects of using ice nucleation deficient bacteria for frost protection are responsible for the attention accorded to this research by the popular media. Therefore it seems appropriate to provide a scientists perspective on these Issues and on the regulatory process as it applies to deliberate release experiments.

Close to vehicles unloading areas and process plant there should be frost-protected safety showers. These should be tested monthly. 

Limpanavech et al. (2008) also demonstrated that chitosan increased significantly the number of vascular bundles containing silica cells. This affects silica uptake and silica metabolism in the orchid and plays a key role in heat, wind, and salt stress tolerance. Chitosan foliar is also applied for frost protection in agriculture (Rinaudo 2006). 

Because freezing and thawing increase the permeability of clay, newly constructed liners must be protected from freeze-thaw damage using four feet of solid waste or other frost protection material dining winter months. Both the base liner and the lower 10 feet of the inside slopes are required to be protected from freeze-thaw damage.
