The Ice Breakers: Combatting Bacteria-Induced Frost Damage

In this episode of the Better Frost Decisions podcast, Tanja Morgan discusses advanced frost management techniques with Chaiyya Cooper, a Research Scientist from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) Western Australia. Chaiyya explains the impact of ice-nucleating bacteria on frost damage in crops and shares new findings on products being tested to mitigate this risk. Discover how these research efforts could transform frost damage management for growers and where to find more information on this groundbreaking study. 00:00 Introduction to Frost Management 00:53 Interview with Chaiyya Cooper 01:12 Understanding Ice Nucleating Bacteria 03:31 Research on Frost Management Products 05:29 Field Trials and Future Research 07:36 Conclusion and Further Information The following links have more information on ice nucleating bacteria  Agronomy Conference Proceedings  GRDC publications This podcast was brought to you by the GRDC project 'Applying current knowledge to inform, grower decision-making to mitigate the impact of frost now and in the future'. Support the show: https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
