Due to low temperatures, many risk of frost

After the penetration of cold air from the north, it has cooled on Sunday, and due to night temperatures below zero, there is a risk of frost especially in the sloping positions in the interior of Slovenia. Only in Gorizia and by the sea will the temperature be left just above zero. Where they have systems established, fruit plantations will try to protect with wiring.

According to weather forecasts, today, in the morning, there will be mostly three to minus one degrees Celsius, and about minus six in the freezers. Only in Gorizia and by the sea will the temperature remain slightly above zero. So that in the morning in the slopes in the interior of Slovenia, frost can be created, on Sunday warned on duty meteorologist at the Environmental Agency of the Republic of Slovenia (ARSO) Brane Gregorcic.

The relatively cold tomorrow will also be Tuesday and the middle, but not as extremely cold as today.

Theoretically, all temperatures below minus one degree Celsius in flowering plants and minus one and a half degrees in still closed flowers cause damage to fruits or flowers or young shoots at the berry, the agricultural profession warned the past few days.

Due to low temperatures, damage to the plant depends on the fruit species and variety, its developmental stage and the duration of the low temperatures.

Most growers do not have the ability to use active protection against spring frost, which is conditioned by the professional and timely use of the tool system, but with some measures, they may, however, affect the reduction of damage caused by spring frost, agricultural experts warned and recommended several measures.

After a mild winter and somewhat earlier flowering of fruit trees, this year, this year, especially in Primorska, was faced in March.
