Chemical Freeze Protection of Citrus 1989/1990

Abstract

Three chemical frost protectants were applied to Lisbon lemons using a hand gun operated from a John Bean sprayer. Leaf samples were placed in test tubes with 10 ml of distilled water to determine the temperature at which they froze using a constant temperature bath. Although the sample size was increased by 50 percent over the previous year, the treatments were not significantly different from the untreated.
