almond flowers early and frost kills them some years, how to protect badam bloom Kashmir
2 जवाब
Almond flowers very early, so spring frost during bloom is its biggest risk, and no method fully removes the risk in a severe frost. The most important step is site selection, planting on slopes with good cold air drainage and avoiding frost pockets in low hollows where cold air settles. Choosing later flowering varieties reduces exposure. On nights when frost is forecast, growers use measures like running sprinkler irrigation through the frost, creating smoke or using orchard heating, but these have limits and costs. Keeping trees healthy and well managed helps them recover partial damage. Watch local frost warnings closely during bloom. Get the specific frost protection methods proven for your valley from SKUAST or the horticulture department, since what works depends on your terrain and resources.
Low lying plots are the worst, the cold sits there. My trees on the slope escape frost better than the ones at the bottom. Site choice before planting is half the battle.
