German. This paper presents a systematic approach to supporting decisions on frost protection. It includes guidance for collecting information, considering uncertainty and identifying trade-offs between competing objectives in production system establishment. It also compiles a list of the types of costs and benefits that decision-makers should keep in mind in choosing among frost protection options. We aim to provide practitioners with a guide that supports decision-making on frost protection in fruit production, describing the basic steps and listing all major aspects to consider. We emphasize that effective frost protection in fruit production requires considering a number of aspects during both design and management of production orchards.
