Frost free days

Alternative definitions (1), class: vernacular (0)
Term: Frost free days
Definition: Number of frost free days is calculated based on the last occurrence of frost in spring and the first occurrence of frost in autumn. This is an especially important parameter for agriculture, because the variability in the number of frost free days is crucial for many agricultural activities such as planting and harvesting, but the impact of a strong frost can become an economic problem that affects the prices.  CanadaNCA
