Double Wheat Yield: Farmers' Guide to Frost Protection & Crop Safety

• Light irrigation and creating smoke are immediate, effective measures to protect wheat from frost.
• Spraying 0.1% sulfur solution and limited use of fungicides like propiconazole or tebuconazole offer chemical protection.
• Planting windbreak trees (mulberry, shisham, acacia, jamun) around fields provides long-term frost defense.
• Mulching with straw or plastic, as per Prof. Ashok Kumar Singh, can reduce frost damage by 60-70%.
• Zinc spray helps yellowing crops, and timely sowing enhances the crop's natural frost resistance.

Why It Matters: Farmers can double wheat yield by adopting immediate, chemical, and long-term frost protection measures.
