Episode Details

A research effort led by CSIRO, with GRDC investment, has developed a modeling tool that could in future years help growers rapidly understand the extent of crop damage following a frost event to aid with timely decision-making post-frost.

The Frost Mapping project is one of a number of projects related to GRDC’s key investment target strategy for frost.
