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.
These daily accumulations can be added over a period of time and used to predicting insect development. In terms of field use, producers should check for the first signs of tip feeding when 190 degree days have accumulated starting from January 1. Accumulation of degree day totals usually begins in one of two ways. It is common to start keeping track of degree days for many pests on a calendar date ( January 1 for many). While this is simple, there is the disadvantage of having to keep up with temperatures long before any insect development will occur.
