The Ohio State Phenology Calendar, Growing Degree Days (GDD)
It’s been said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When’s the best time to put down that grub control? When the grubs are small and active, but when is that? When the ground temperature is warm enough, but when exactly is that? Well, it depends on the climate. That’s why we use The Ohio State University Extension’s Phenological Calendar, or “Growing Degree Days”, to help guide us in making informed decisions, whether we want to know when to look for Red Bud blooms or when the best time is to put down that weed or pest control product.
