GDD strategy app

Growing degrees strategy app

As a grower, you know that timing is everything when it comes to maximizing your crop yield and quality. That’s why we’re excited to share our updated Growing Degree Days (GDD) strategy application, designed to help growers optimize their management practices and achieve their production goals. Get quick insights into the accumulated GDD in this growing season so far, and adjust according to you and your plants’ needs.

What does the application do?

Growing Degree Days (GDD) are a way to measure heat energy received by plants over a period of time. GDD are calculated based on the difference between the minimum temperature required for crop development (the base temperature) and the actual temperature in the greenhouse. In the GDD strategy app you can get an overview of the target GDD until yield, the currently accumulated GDD in the season so far, and the progress you are making. We calculate the days until yield for you, based on the current trend in GDD, or based on your set target.

Why use the GDD app?

Optimizing your harvest timing for optimal yield can be achieved with this strategy application. Growing Degree Days are a way to measure heat energy received by plants over a period of time. GDD are calculated based on the difference between the minimum temperature required for crop development (the base temperature, or threshold value) and the actual temperature in the greenhouse. The total sum of GDD over a growing season can be used to predict important crop stages, such as maturity. Understanding your crop’s growth stage helps you optimize resource allocation and better understand your plant’s needs for optimal crop management. This information can help you make data-driven decisions about your harvest timing.
