How can the gaiasense app help your crop’s growth?

• Growing Degree Days
  Growing degree days show how many hours of temperature a plant has “accumulated”. The longer these hours are, the faster this plant will grow.
  What are they for? With the growth days you can compare different plots or growing seasons and understand in which cases you will have an early or late harvest. And so organize your work better, so you can save valuable time.
  In order for gaiasense to start measuring growth days, the start time point of the culture must be determined. In perennial crops this is usually after dormancy and in annual crops, immediately after sowing or transplanting.
  All you have to do is enter the start dates for each plot of land you have declared in the application. The system will then begin recording hourly temperature degrees above the initial set point.
• Chill Hours
  Chill hours are the period of low temperatures that several species of fruit trees need during the winter to break dormancy and be able to flower and bud in the spring.
  gaiasense automatically calculates the chill hours separately, for each crop and plot of land you have entered, through the accurate recording of the ambient temperature in each area.
  What can you tell by looking at the cold hours at the end of winter? The cold hours inform you about whether or not your crop will be delayed in coming out of dormancy, and even if it will present a problem with flowering and fruiting. In any case, you have an early indication of what to do.

With the gaiasense app you can see how your crop is growing, through your mobile screen!
