What is GDD?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Growing Degree Days are simple tool that is used to measure the period of the day that is suitable for growing something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These models are used in agriculture, insect management, turf , etc. When Primo Maxx<\/a> was launched Dr. Danneberger did a lot of work for the Syngenta team establishing appropriate application windows to get the best out of your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was always a big fan of GDD as a concept to time my applications but very much fell into the camp of “I’ll fill in my spreadsheet tomorrow”<\/em> and before I knew it I’d gone a month without entering any data and given up for another season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we’ve tried to make it as simple as possible for all of you turf managers who had the same level of discipline that I did, don’t have there own weather station or simply would just have an automated system going on in the background to monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve done a 20 minutes video here which will help you get started. But trust me it’s not complicated. Log in to your Greencast account<\/a> or go straight to it here<\/a> … and have a play – 15 minutes of experimenting, I suspect you’ll learn more than listening to me drone on about it …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
