This study was carried out to investigate reduction of the frost damage using the mesh net used for the purpose of non-bagged cultivation. A device measuring the weight of frost was developed and installed in both the control and the experimental, and the effect of frost reduction was evaluated with their weights. As a result, weight of frost in the control was reduced from 37% to 59% with mesh net on the day the frost was observed. In addition, the device for automatically observing the amount of frost was developed and the height of the windbreak of the frost measuring device was determined to be 30 cm through wind tunnel experiment. The results of this study are expected to reduce frost damage during the flowering season of fruit trees by installing mesh net and it is expected to be used as basic data for agricultural use of mesh net.
