How to control frost in gram crop

  • The long nights of winter are cold and sometimes the temperature can even drop to freezing point or below it. In such a situation the water vapor, without converting into liquid directly, gets converted into minute ice particles, which is known as frost and it can be very harmful for flora and crops .              
  • Leaves and flowers of plants appear scorched due to the effect of frost which later causes them to fall. Even half-ripe fruits shrink. They wrinkle, the bud falls and the formation of grain is hindered.
  • To protect your crop from frost, you create smoke around your field, so that the  temperature will be balanced and the crop can be saved from frost damage.
  • On the day when there is a possibility of frost, spray 0.1% solution of sulfur on the crop . Keep in mind that the spray of solution covers  plants  well. The effect of spray lasts for two weeks. If there is a possibility of cold wave and frost even after this period, spray of sulfur should be repeated at an interval of 15 to 20 days.
