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
