Critical Temperature Threshold and Adaptation Strategies for Selected Vegetable Crops

Temperature is a critical driver of horticultural product quality, yield, seasonality and income potential.

The unique and informative Critical Temperature Thresholds (CTT) work combines high quality peer reviewed world crop physiology and growth research, with local temperature and conditions to explore current and future (2050) crop productivity and seasonality.

This crop, location and historical climate data is then combined with projected future temperature information and brought together graphically, along with a succinct summary and commentary that teases out how growing the selected crop at each production location will potentially be impacted.

Introduction to Critical Temperature Thresholds work program

Each of the 13 unique Critical Temperature Thresholds crop documents, provides insight into the crops’ temperature requirements, current season, projected temperature changes, and their impacts in the 2050s at key growing locations in Queensland and Australia.
A valuable and practical resource for Queensland’s and Australia's Horticultural Industry.
