Altered date of sowing (early or delay to skip the critical stages)

• Cover the nursery with perforated polythene sheet

• Apply DAP or any other phosphorus fertilizer to alleviate cold stress in nursery

• Keep crop well irrigated. Sprinkler irrigation increases canopy temperature 

• Apply K, Cu and Mo fertilizers as their deficiency render crop vulnerable to frost

• Evaporation suppressors can also be used
