Ultimately, frost control is an economic strategy. The difference between a protected and unprotected orchard is often measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars:
SCENARIO Normal production
Frost without protection
Frost with R66 protection
PRODUCTION (BOXES/HECTARE)
1,000 0 930–950
INCOME (USD/HECTARE)
$20,000 $0 $18,600–19,000
Just one unmanaged frost night can mean the difference between a profitable season and a total loss.
