Climate change impacts are major threat for
agricultural production. Two of the most important
climatic factors, precipitation and air temperature,
have undergone great changes during the
last two decades in Central Croatia (Bogunovic,
Kisic 2013). Despite an overall increase in mean
daily temperatures, it is expected that there will
be an increase in the number of devastating spring
frosts due to the erratic weather patterns associated
with global climate change (Gu et al. 2008).
Due to several years of exploitation strawberries
are often damaged by exposure and sensitivity to
low temperatures. The most dangerous condition
is the appearance of late spring frost, when strawberry
plants emerge from dormancy. Because of
