- Frost is most common in low-lying areas. Warm air rises, and cool air sinks—cool air is denser than warm air. That means there are usually more water molecules in cool air than in warm air. As cool air collects in valleys, frost forms. Frost usually forms at night, when the air temperature is cooler.

This can depend on crop type, stage of development and if canopy is wet. It also depends on how low the temperature gets and for how long. Frost is a three stage response, with damage increasing for each stage. 1. Cold damage: occurs when plants are exposed to temperature less than 5°C down to -2°C. If this occurs during pollen development (Z39 - 4...
A canopy that is wet from a light shower of rain is often more prone to frost damage. This is because rain contains ice nucleators predominately bacteria and dust. These predominatelyPseudomonas sp. bacteria are present in the WA cropping landscape on our decaying stubbles and in the light showers of rain which often fall before a frost (Bekuma et ...
Cereal crops are most susceptible to frost damage during and after flowering but are also susceptible from stem elongation throughout grain filling. Pulses and canola are particularly susceptible during pod filling where affected pods have absent, mushy or shrivelled and distorted seeds.
The nature of frost damage depends upon the plant development stage at which the frost occurs. Two guides has been published to assist growers to identify frost damage and consider crop management decisions. Download from here or the link in the right menu 1.

When
Inspect crops when they are between ear-emergence and grain-fill, after the temperature drops below 2°C (screen temperature). Damage is usually most evident 7–10 days after a suspected frost event.
Where
Examine the crop in more susceptible lower parts of the landscape first and if the crop is damaged proceed to higher ground.
How
Walk through the crop and examine a whole plant every 10–20 paces. If the head has not emerged from the boot, check that the developing head has not been damaged. You will need to carefully dissect the plant from the top down to find the head of the plant inside the leaf sheaths. If the crop has flowered, open the florets to check if the grain is developing. After a frost event, tag a few heads with tape and note the stage of development. Return a week later to determine if head/grain develop...
Stem damage may not be as bad as flowering frost damage, provided there are viable grains and mild weather conditions during grain filling. The stem structure is similar to a bunch of straws where water and nutrients travel to the head/grains. Not all straws may be affected, allowing water and nutrients to still reach the head/grains. Dye can be us...
All winter grain and oilseed crops are susceptible to frost. It is therefore important to consider less susceptible crop species for frost-prone paddocks. The order of susceptibility for cereals is (most to least); durum, triticale, wheat, barley, cereal rye and oats. Wheat is more susceptible then barley at flowering, but barley is as or more susc...
Position in the landscape influences temperature variations, frost damage and yield more than management practices. High production areas in a paddock are often lower in the landscape with the increased moisture and better soil types promoting higher yields. Current frost research indicates that crops sown with high seeding rates, high nitrogen and...
All wheat varieties are susceptible to frost however their risk profile during flowering can differ. The frost performance values provided on the National Variety Trial website gives an indication of a variety's risk to frost damage during flowering. Variety choice and time of sowing is a major driver of variation in yield and is still the most rel...
All wheat and barley varieties are susceptible to frost. The Frost Values (FV) provided on the National Variety Trialwebsite is an indication of a varieties risk to frost damage during flowering. Using these values enables the direct comparison of the relative flowering frost susceptibility between multiple varieties. The lower the frost performanc...
Frost is most common in low lying areas. Frost usually forms at night, but once the Sun rises in the morning and heats the air, the frost melts very quickly. The Russian Santa Claus is called Ded Moroz, or Father Frost.
May 6, 2009 · In contrast, low-lying areas, especially depressions where cold air can literally collect or pond, are significantly more likely to experience a greater frequency and length of frost. The rule of thumb is that concave topographical features (relative to the sky) are climatologically cooler than convex features.
Frost is a thin layer of ice on a solid surface, which forms from water vapor that deposits onto a freezing surface. Frost forms when the air contains more water vapor than it can normally hold at a specific temperature.
Nov 4, 2020 · Frost is essentially what occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere (water vapor is just water in gas form) freezes to form ice crystals. In short, it forms when a gas transitions to a solid state. There are a few ingredients necessary for frost formation. 1) The air in the surrounding environment needs to be saturated or filled with moisture.
It explains why frost is more common and extensive in low-lying areas. Areas where frost forms due to cold air trapped against the ground or against a solid barrier such as a wall are known as "frost pockets".
