Webinar: Growing degree hours & IPM applications with Fargro’s Ant Surrage

One of the calculations that we often encounter is the number of degree hours (days more often in arable environments) or cold hours. While examining this in more detail and gathering information about the different models and conventions, we realized how general and useful this calculation is for almost every crop. With this you can not only follow the development cycle of your crops, but also the life cycle of different pests. In this webinar we explain how to set up the Growing Degree Hours / Days (GDH / GDD) widget within our platform.
