Weather of Arabia - It is expected that large areas of the Kingdom will witness today evening Friday and Friday / Saturday night a wave of ice and frost, as the latter greatly affects crops, so a number of important alerts and advice should be followed by farmers to protect their crops?

An important set of advice for farmers to avoid the risk of frost:

  • Paying attention to irrigation and keeping the soil moist, as this helps protect the plant against frost, as it increases soil and weather moisture.
  • The work of industrial fog by releasing water vapor into the atmosphere surrounding the plants, in the event of sprinkler irrigation networks, especially on nights where there is no cloud in the sky.
  • "Smoking" by burning herbs, as the presence of smoke particles prevents frost formation.
  • Covering plants with high sensitivity from cold with plastic covers, straw, burlap, and others.
  • Spraying plants with micronized sulfur, agricultural sulfur, and foaming materials to reduce the effect of frost.
  • Spraying with potassium silicate compounds, amino acids, seaweed and cytokinin 4%.
