Description
The objective of the project LIFE FROSTDEFEND is to design, develop and demonstrate the benefits of a novel monitoring and frost forecasting tool to mitigate frost injury in high yield agriculture crops.
LIFE FROSTDEFEND aims to develop a smart Internet of Things (IoT) based system to monitor relevant atmospheric (aerosol concentration), meteorological and phenological indicators to predict damaging frost events. Key frost event indicators will be identified and integrated into a user-friendly a forecasting and warning tool for reducing frost damage to sensitive crops. The accuracy of the forecasting tool and the efficacy of copper sprays in protecting fruit trees from frosts will be evaluated in the field in areas with different geographical and climatic characteristics. The tool will provide farmers with reliable frost event warnings and guidelines for low-cost and sustainable remediation actions to mitigate potential frost damages.
