Using a Chill Unit/Growing Degree Hour Model to Assess Spring Freeze Risks for `Redhaven' Peach Trees [PDF]
Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] production in Tennessee has declined since 1985 due to the occurrence of freezing temperatures that kill the buds, usually in the spring. Analyses of long-term (1951-89) daily temperature data from four locations in Tennessee were used to evaluate the freeze risks for `Redhaven' peach tree buds at those sites. A model

Historical and Projected Changes in Chill Hours and Spring Freeze Risk in the Midwest United States [PDF]
Abstract In the United States Midwest region, the dormant or cold season has experienced significant change over the past several decades due to human-caused global warming, and changes are projected to continue or intensify through the end of the century.

GIS-Based Analysis and Mapping of the Winter Chilling Hours in Mainland Spain. Application to Some Sweet Cherry Cultivars [PDF]
The knowledge of the chilling requirements for breaking rest and flowering of fruit trees is necessary to properly select cultivars and to avoid losses due to an inappropriate cultivar selection in a particular geographical location.

Subtropical Peach Defoliation and Chill Hours
Proper foliage management is a key factor in having a healthy peach orchard and producing high-quality fruit. However, this is not an easy task for Florida growers. The warm and humid climate throughout Florida’s growing season makes it difficult to keep peach leaf rust and bacterial spot under control, which could cause premature defoliation.

Influence of Chilling Hours on Flower Bud Growth and Rooting Ability of Blueberry Budsticks [PDF]
Budsticks from 3 rabbiteye blueberry cultivars (‘Baldwin,’ ‘Brightwell,’ and ‘Tifblue’) and 2 highbush blueberry cultivars (TH-275 and ‘Georgiagem’) were subjected to 0 to 650 hrs at 4.4 °C (40°F) to determine the effects of accumulated chilling on terminal flower bud growth and rooting ability. The cultivar X chilling hours interaction was significant

High positivity of blood cultures obtained within two hours after shaking chills [PDF]
To determine whether the time lag between blood culture draw and the start of shaking chills is associated with blood culture positivity.A prospective observational study was undertaken from January 2013 to March 2015 at a referral center in Okinawa, Japan.

Accumulation of degree-days and chilling hours for ‘Eva’ apple tree production in temperate climate
The cultivation of apple tree is highly dependent on meteorological variables, especially temperature. The link between accumulation of degree-days (DD) and accumulation of chilling hours (CH) are determinant to field success, in the context of climate change.

The relationship between the strawberry crown content (Carbohydrates and Nitrogen) and the accumulated neutral chilling hours, moreover, the changing rate of content as affected by artificial cold storage was investigated in Sana’a University. Strawberry Seedling was digging at the three different periods during winter season.

Effect of the Accumulated Effective Chilling Hours at the Pruning Time on Budbreak Table Grape on Dessertic Condition [PDF]
The grape crop is important in Sonora State, Mexico, even though the grape growers have some problems that put in risk its continuity. To decide the moment of pruning time is one of the important decisions that the grower must done, because that depends partly the moment and the magnitude the budbreak appeared.

Estimation of cold pool areas and chilling hours through satellite-derived surface temperatures [PDF]
© 2015 Elsevier B.V. A methodology is proposed to identify the coldest areas of the island of Mallorca through satellite-derived surface temperatures. Land-surface temperatures from the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG-LST) just before sunrise for 1 year starting on September 1, 2007, were used.
