Frost damage on grain number in wheat at different spike developmental stages and its modeling by Martino, Diana Laura, Abbate, Pablo Eduardo

“…The objective of this study was (i) to quantify the level of susceptibility to frost at different spike developmental stages, and (ii) to develop a theoretical-empirical model to estimate successive frosts damage on grain number (GN) at different spike and crop developmental stages based on the meteorological characteristics of the event. Three experiments were performed under field conditions at Balcarce (Argentina), using Klein Roble and Floripan 100 spring cultivars, sown on seven dates. …”
