What temperatures can Polish crops withstand?

Polish crops react differently to temperature changes, and determining the exact moment when frosts occur is a complex process. The reason is that numerous factors influence their resilience. Dominik Neumayer, a specialist in crop cultivation, explains what the key conditions are and what the critical temperatures are that cereals and rapeseed can endure during the winter period, writes Agrointel. Producers: 2025 was extremely difficult, but the most adaptable survived. The ability of plants to withstand low temperatures depends, among other things, on whether they are still in active growth or have already undergone a hardening process. It is the hardening that allows plants to prepare for winter cold and increase their frost resistance. Polish crops have their own mechanisms for protection against low temperatures that develop within the cells. With the onset of colder weather in autumn, the plant hormones cytokinin and abscisic acid activate cold resistance processes. As a ...
