Calculating Chilling Hours and Chill Units from Daily Maximum and Minimum Temperature Observations [PDF]
Models that require hourly weather data as inputs are being constructed to simulate development of insects and plants. Most agricultural and, climatological weather observation stations, however, do not include the capability to record hourly data. Thus, methods, for simulating hourly observations need to be developed if the wealth of data collected in

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.

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.

Determination of Chilling and Heat Requirement of Four Apricot Cultivars of Khorasan Razavi Province
Introduction:Dormancy is one of the most important stages in the life cycle of temperate plants and plants are required to exit from it with supply of chill unit. Flowering is defined with chilling and heat requirement. Owing to low chilling requirement,

Interactions Between Chill-Hours and Degree-Days Affect Carpogenic Germination inMonilinia vaccinii-corymbosi [PDF]
The relationship of cumulative chill-hours (hours with a mean temperature <7.2°C) and heating degree-days (base 7.2°C) to carpogenic germination of pseudosclerotia of Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi, which causes mummy berry disease of blueberry, was investigated.

Chilling units and chilling hours for southern region of Brazil and Aomori in Japan
The brazilian apple production are located in the southern region, with the best areas in altitudes ranging from 800 to 1400 m, with great variability in the number of Chilling Hours (CH) and Chilling Units (CU) in the different regions and years. The objective of this study was to compare CH equal or below 7.2°C and CU by the North Carolina Modified ...

A Web-Based Chill Hours App for Fruit Growers
Many fruit plants have a chill hour requirement for breaking dormancy. Various models estimate chilling, but two models are commonly used for fruit crops. From 2000 to 2016, chill hour data were collected by Mississippi State University experiment station employees as well as by local fruit producers; however, the number of participants in the process ...
