M. D. Hare New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research 1993. doi:10.1080/00288233.1993.10417740

Other claims from this paper (9)

Observation Tall fescue reproductive tillers are particularly sensitive to frost damage at ear emergence and during anthesis.
Intervention effect A -5 C air frost destroyed all seed heads of tall fescue.
