(2021) Vegetable Degree-day Models: An Introduction for Farmers and Gardeners Degree-days measure the amount of heat accumulated over time. Researchers have used years of this data to develop models that help farmers and gardeners predict harvest dates and other important events in select crops and weeds. Learn how to use an online tool known as Croptime to put these models to work for you.
