A good approximation of the degree-days accumulated for a pest can be calculated by knowing: The identity and life cycle of the pest and the crop. When to start accumulating degree-days for a pest. The minimum and maximum temperatures at which the pest will develop. The highest and lowest temperatures in the field or orchard during pest development.
A degree day is computed as the integral of a function of time that generally varies with temperature. The function is truncated to upper and lower limits that vary by organism, or to limits that are appropriate for climate control.
