Answer to Question 1

Row covers, sprinkler irrigation, fogging, and, in extreme cases, heaters, smudge pots,
and fans.

Answer to Question 2

Count the number of days from planting to maturity; however, the rate of maturity
for each crop is dependent on temperature and rainfall, so this is not the most
accurate way to measure the time to plant maturation.
Use degree-days by adding the daily high and low temperature together, dividing by
two, and then subtracting the base temperature for the specific crop, which is the
lowest temperature at which growth can occur.
