Frost Damage Index: The Antipode of Growing Degree Days [PDF]
Abiotic stresses such as heat and frost limit plant growth and productivity. Image-based field phenotyping methods allow quantifying not only plant growth but also plant senescence.

Projecting Future Change in Growing Degree Days for Winter Wheat [PDF]
Southwest Oklahoma is one of the most productive regions in the Great Plains (USA) where winter wheat is produced. To assess the effect of climate change on the growing degree days (GDD) available for winter wheat production, we selected from the CMIP5 ...

Degree Days: Heating, Cooling, and Growing
ABE-381, a 7-page illustrated fact sheet by Clyde W. Fraisse, John Bellow, and Charles Brown, discusses how growers can use the AgClimate Web site to find out how to predict Growing Degree Day accumulation for the current season, and to review GDD for ...

Degree-Days: Growing, Heating, and Cooling
How much and when it rains, freezes, and thaws can make the difference between boom and bust for a year's crop. However, temperature can predict more than boom or bust. Atmospheric temperature can predict the growth rates of many plants. For this reason,

A new nonlinear method for calculating growing degree days. [PDF]
AbstractPrecise calculations of growing degree days (GDD) are an important component in crop simulation models and managerial decisions. Traditional methods for calculating GDD assume linear developmental responses to temperature and cannot precisely account for the delay in growth or development at temperatures above the optimal temperature (Topt).

Cover crop mixture expression is influenced by nitrogen availability and growing degree days. [PDF]
Cover crop mixtures can provide multiple ecosystem services but provisioning of these services is contingent upon the expression of component species in the mixture. From the same seed mixture, cover crop mixture expression varied greatly across farms and we hypothesized that this variation was correlated with soil inorganic nitrogen (N) concentrations

PHENOLOGICAL STAGES AND GROWING DEGREE DAYS FOR DIFFERENT SOYBEAN CULTIVARS [PDF]
Ninesoybean cultivars belonging to different maturity groups (MG) in the green house of Crop Physiol. Res. Dept., Giza, 2007 and 2008 seasons. The main objectives were to study the initiation and duration of the different growth stages, growing degree ...

Variability of growing degree days in Poland in response to ongoing climate changes in Europe. [PDF]
An observed increase in air temperature can lead to significant changes in the phenology of plants and, consequently, changes in agricultural production. The aim of the study was to evaluate the spatial differentiation of thermal resources in Poland and their variability during a period of changing thermal conditions in Europe. Since the variability of

Growing degree-days: one equation, two interpretations
Heat units, expressed in growing degree-days (GDD), are frequently used to describe the timing of biological processes. The basic equation used is GDD = [(TMAX + TMIN)2]−TBASE, where TMAX and TMIN are daily maximum and minimum air temperature, respectively, and TBASE is the base temperature. Two methods of interpreting this equation for calculating GDD

Spatial-Temporal Simulation of LAI on Basis of Rainfall and Growing Degree Days [PDF]
The dimensionless Leaf Area Index (LAI) is widely used to characterize vegetation cover. With recent remote sensing developments LAI is available for large areas, although not continuous. However, in practice, continuous spatial-temporal LAI datasets are required for many environmental models.
