Description
Plant tissues are subjected to controlled freezing temperatures in a programmable chamber to determine frost damage thresholds. Temperatures are gradually reduced to simulate natural frost events, then damage is assessed visually.
Typical Equipment
- Sigma M26-C4 programmable temperature chamber
- liquid CO₂
- aluminum foil
Output Measurements
- frost damage binary scores
- LT₁₀, LT₅₀, LT₉₀ temperature thresholds
