Sažetak

In the last years there has been a relatively high incidence of late spring frost in permanent plantations. The intensity of frost appearance during flowering of fruit trees was such that fruit growers lost their complete yield and the consequences were felt for a longer period of time. The system of sprinkler irrigation can to a great extent be an effective way of protection against frost, but it also has a lot of disadvantages due to the fact that many branches break because of a large quantity of ice, plantation soil is completely leached so passability for tractors is difficult, and diseases often appear in a plantation. The application of a modern machine Frostbuster during flowering of fruit trees (apples, pears, peaches, apricots, cherries, plums, etc.) ensures a reliable and effective protection against frost at the area of 8 to 10 hectares.
