Why does farmer spray water on crops when temperature drops?

Farmers spray water on crops when temperatures drop to create a protective layer of ice around the plants. This ice acts as an insulator, maintaining a temperature just above freezing and preventing damage to the crops from frost. Additionally, the latent heat released during the freezing process helps to keep the plants warm. This practice is especially common in fruit orchards and sensitive crops that are vulnerable to cold damage.


Temperature vs elevation?
