How to improve the accumulation of cold hours in cherry trees
The winter cold is essential for perennials in cold areas, while deciduous plants avoid cold damage by going into winter dormancy. A certain amount of cold hours is necessary to put an end to this dormancy stage, so winters with warm days and not enough hours of cold lead to low fruit yields as a result of floral abortion and poor fruit setting, given the altered development of the floral buds, as well as an inadequate mobilization of reserve metabolites.
Agralia® is constantly searching for new and innovative technologies that can lead to better production management. This is why Agricooler® aims to help in the accumulation of cold hours by preventing daytime IR radiation from raising the temperature of the plants.
