Weather Intelligence
For Better Yields
GDD tracking, frost risk, soil temperature and moisture, and irrigation guidance for your fields. Make data-driven decisions for your crops.
Stop Guessing Crop Development
Growing Degree Days (GDD) tracking removes the guesswork from crop management. Know exactly where your crops are in their development cycle based on accumulated heat units.
- ✓Estimate the next crop stage from your recent GDD pace
- ✓Time pesticide applications for maximum effectiveness
- ✓Compare with past seasons using daily history back to 1940
GDD Requirements by Crop
Typical ranges; they vary by variety and source, and some use different base temperatures. Set the base your agronomist uses in GrowCentral settings.
Everything Farmers Need
GDD Tracking
Accumulated heat units from your planting date, with presets for corn, soybeans and wheat.
→ Follow crop stages by heat units and time applications to development, not the calendar.
Frost Risk
7-night forecast lows with an estimated chance of reaching your frost threshold.
→ Time to protect crops, plus your zone’s typical frost dates next to this season’s observed frosts.
Soil Conditions
Modelled soil temperature at 0, 6 and 18 cm and soil moisture, with a warming or cooling trend.
→ Plant when the seed zone is warm enough, with a 7-day planting window check for frost.
ET & Irrigation
FAO-56 reference ET times your crop coefficient, against actual rainfall over the last 7 days.
→ Irrigate when there is a real deficit, saving water and improving yields.
