I've updated my Phenology Extension to v1.3 for WeeWX 4.6.2. There are no new features.
My WeeWX extension may be downloaded from its own Web site, which assumes the reader has already installed WeeWX and is familiar with its architecture and configuration. o http://lacusveris.com/Phenology The discussion on the Web site about phenology in general and the need for models of insect and plant development is aimed at enthusiasts. Casual readers may, of course, skip the boring bits. Suffice it to say that phenology is the study of seasonal biological development. Growth of plants and animals is dependent on food, nutrients, water, and light. Assuming that these are abundant, the factor that determines the speed of development is temperature. Models of crop and insect development are thus based on daily temperatures. Developmental stages are observed to follow the product of temperature and time: Growing Degree-Days. The Web site delves into chemical treatments for apple codling moth, using this insect as an example of applying a Growing Degree-Day developmental model to a real-world problem. The data from a weather station tracks daily minimum and maximum temperatures, and my WeeWX extension charts when egg laying is likely to be occurring based on cumulative Growing Degree-Days. Then orchard spraying can begin with less risk of waste due to starting too early or too late. -- .. Be Seeing You, .. Chuck Rhode, Sheboygan, WI, USA ..
