There may be damage due to frost in gram crop, control in this way

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 vapour, without converting into liquid directly, gets converted into minute ice particles, which is known as frost and it can be very harmful to flora and crops.
Due to the effect of frost, the leaves and flowers of the gram crop appear scorched and later 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 the spray lasts for two weeks. If there is a possibility of cold waves and frost even after this period, a spray of sulfur should be repeated at an interval of 15 to 20 days.
As a biological treatment, spray Pseudomonas Fluorescens @ 500 gm/acre.
