If frost warning is issued for a field, why may farmers use light irrigation or smoke at night?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To reduce excessive surface cooling

Answer: B, to reduce excessive cooling of the crop surface. Frost can injure plants when their tissues fall to a freezing temperature. Light irrigation adds water to the surface and soil; as water cools and, in suitable conditions, freezes, it releases latent heat, helping limit the fall in temperature around the plants. Smoke from controlled, appropriate sources can reduce loss of outgoing radiation and may act as a protective screen, although it must be used safely and does not guarantee protection in every situation. Option A is wrong because drying the soil does not protect plants from frost. Option C is wrong because the aim is not always to remove moisture; irrigation deliberately adds water. Option D is wrong because these methods do not stop rainfall. The common principle is conserving heat and slowing surface cooling. Memory cue: frost protection means keep the plant surface from becoming too cold.
