Tools – AgroClimate

Climate

Climate tools are based on weather stations and gridded weather data from different sources. They are designed to inform users on current climate conditions and the effects of annual cycles such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation on weather patterns in the Southeastern U.S.A.

	Rainfall and Temp. Monitoring Observed rainfall and temperature
	Climatology Rainfall and temperature climatology (1950-2013)
	Climatology – Caribbean new Rainfall and temperature climatology (1979-2017) for Caribbean islands
	Weather Stations Climatology and current observations for selected weather stations in the Southeast USA
	Freeze Risk Probabilities Freeze probabilities based on El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phases
	Heat Stress Monitoring new Accumulated daily maximum temperature above the thresholds of 82ºF, 86ºF, 90ºF, 93ºF or 97ºF.

Crop Disease

Crop disease tools are developed primarily to provide information about risk of infection and need to apply pesticides or not based on environmental conditions. They help growers avoid unnecessary applications and reduce cost of production.

	Strawberry Advisory System Risk of Anthracnose and Botrytis fruit rot
	Blueberry Advisory System Risk of Anthracnose and Botrytis fruit rot
	Citrus Copper Application Scheduler Copper residue calculator
	Citrus Advisory System Risk of Postbloom fruit drop

Crop Yield & Development

Crop yield tools are designed to help users investigate the effects of climate on crop yield and development. They are based both on historical yield records and crop model simulations.

County Yield Statistics

Crop yield series, trends and residuals at the county level

Planting Date Planner

Probability of low, medium, and high yields based
on planting dates

Crop Season Planning

Plan your crop season based on phenological stages
date ranges with extreme weather events probabilities

Degree Days & Chill Hours

Degree days and chill hours calculators are designed to track degree days and chill hours accumulation based on different base temperatures and models.

	Cooling and Heating Degree Days Calculator Monitoring and forecasting of cooling and heating degree days
	Chill Hours Monitoring Monitoring maps of chill hours
	Growing Degree Days Monitoring Monitoring maps of growing degree days
	Growing Degree Days Calculator Monitoring and forecasting of growing degree days for selected crops
	Chill Hours Calculator Monitoring and forecasting of chill hours

Drought Indices

Drought Indices tools are generic tools designed to monitor and quantify water stress conditions affecting crops in the Southeastern U.S.A.

ARID (Spatial)

Agricultural Reference Index for Drought

ARID (Stations)

Agricultural Reference Index for Drought

Footprint Calculators

Footprint calculators are designed to help the agricultural industry evaluate the sustainability of crop production systems in the Southeastern U.S.A.

Carbon Footprint Calculator

Emission of greenhouse gases to produce,
store, and transport strawberry.
