The number of days between the average date of the last killing frost in spring and the first killing frost in fall. Vegetables and certain plants require a minimum number of days to reach maturity, so be sure your growing season is long enough.
the portion of the year when soil temperatures are above biologic zero at 50 cm (19.7"). The following growing season months are assumed for each of the soil temperature regimes of Soil Taxonomy: Isohyperthermic Hyperthermic Isothermic Thermic Isomesic Mesic Frigid Isofrigid Cryic Hypergelic Pergelic Subgelic January-December February-December January-December February-October January-December March-October May-September May-September June-August July-August July-August July-August
The period of the year during which the temperatures are sufficiently high to allow plant growth. The growing season is the number of days between the average dates of the last killing frost in spring and the first killing frost in autumn.
The period from the last spring freeze until the first freeze in the fall. In the United States this ranges from about 100 to 365 days.
The period of a year when the environment enables farmers to produce a crop of economic value.
The period from the average date of the last frost (in the United States, this occurs in the spring) to the first frost in the fall.
Generally, the period of the year during which the temperature of vegetation remains high enough to allow plant growth. The most common measure of this period is the number of days between the last frost in the spring and the first frost in the fall.
the season during which a crop grows best
season during which grasses are growing/gaining bulk. Coincides with time of available nitrogen/ protein since green growth indicates these nutrients. Also time during which cattle gain weight. Often period during which phosphorous supplement will be required in the areas of northern Australia lacking in it.
The portion of the year when soil temperatures at 19.7 inches below the soil surface are higher than biologic zero (5 C) (US Department o f Agriculture - Soil Conservation Service 1985). For ease of determination this period can be approximated by the number of frost-free days (US Department of the Interior 1970).
Period of the year during which the growth of vegetation proceeds.
number of days between the average dates of the last killing frost in the spring and the first killing frost in the fall
that portion of the year when soil temperatures at 19.7 inches below the surface exceed biologic zero (41 degrees F.). This can be approximated by the number of frost-free days (i.e., the period between the last frost of spring and first frost of autumn).
the part of the year when the growth of natural and cultivated vegetation is made possible by sufficiently high temperatures, usually when the average daily temperature remains above 50 degrees C.
That portion of the year when temperature and moisture permit plant growth.
the portion of the year when soil temperatures are above biologic zero at 50 cm (19.7"). The following growing season months are assumed for each of the soil temperature regimes of Soil Taxonomy: Isohyperthermic: January-December Hyperthermic: February-December Isothermic: January-December Thermic: February-October Isomesic: January-December Mesic: March-October Frigid: May-September Isofrigid: May-September Cryic: June-August Hypergelic: July-August Pergelic: July-August Subgelic: July-August
The time period, usually measured in days, between the last freeze in the spring and the first frost in the fall. Growing seasons vary depending on local climate and geography. It can also vary by crop, as different plants have different freezing thresholds. It also is an important component in defining wetland areas.
(Vegetation Season) Season during which meteorological conditions are favorable to the growth of plants.
the period of time during which crops can grow - usually measured in days when the average daily temperature is above Celsius.
That portion of the year, usually May through October, that the plants are consuming water and nutrients, or, in irrigation, the period between spring and fall killing frosts. Head: 1. The pressure created from the weight of water. 2. Locally, an amount of irrigation water that can be supplied through a headgate.
The portion of the year when soil temperatures are above biologic zero 41°F (4°C) as defined by "Soil Taxonomy".
Considered the period of the year during which the temperature of cultivated vegetation remains sufficiently high enough to allow plant growth. Usually considered the time period between the last killing frost in the spring and the first killing frost of the autumn. The frost-free growing season is between the first and last occurrence of 32°F temperatures in spring and autumn.
In agriculture, the growing season is the period of each year when crops can be grown. It is usually determined by climate and crop selection. Depending on the location, temperature, daylight hours (photoperiod), and rainfall, may all be critical environmental factors.
