A light irrigation on the evening before a forecast frost is the single best protection. If frost is expected within 5–10 days of a planned cut, delay the cut — mature crop survives frost, tender regrowth does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo field notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWild oat (jangli jai)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the one serious weed, and there is no chemical option in an oat crop — the crop and the weed are too alike.
