frostprotection
Frost protection refers to the measures taken to prevent or mitigate damage caused by freezing temperatures. It is particularly relevant in agriculture, horticulture, and infrastructure maintenance. In agriculture, frost protection involves techniques such as covering crops with frost cloth or using heaters to raise the temperature around plants. In horticulture, growers may use row covers or wind machines to protect plants from frost. Infrastructure maintenance, such as roads and bridges, often requires the use of de-icing chemicals or heating systems to prevent ice formation and ensure safe passage. Frost protection is crucial for maintaining productivity, safety, and the longevity of various systems and environments.
