- Local topography has a large role in determining if and where frost develops. Cold air will settle in the valleys since it is heavier than warm air, therefore frost conditions are more prone in these regions. Valleys also shelter the area from stronger winds, enhancing the potential for frost.

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. Frost Identification Guide for Canola and Pulses 2. Frost Identification Guide for Cereals
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...

Using these values enables the direct comparison of the relative flowering frost susceptibility between multiple varieties. The lower the frost performanc...

Location: Certain locations are more prone to frost damage than others. For example, low-lying areas or areas with poor drainage are more likely to experience frost damage because cold air tends to settle in these areas.
Jul 1, 2017 · Some areas, known as frost hollows, are particularly frost-prone. These are often in valleys where cold air moves down slopes, pooling in low-lying areas. The potential frost days maps show areas that may be affected by frost.
