Strategies for managing spring frost risks in orchards: effectiveness and conditionality—A systematic review protocol

Abstract Background Spring frosts pose an important threat to orchard productivity in temperate zones and predictions of future occurrences do not exclude damaging events. However, there is no up-to-date and systematic comparison of the effectiveness and conditionality of the existing passive and ac...
