Growing degree-days.<\/p>\n<p>Growing degree-days (GDD) are a measure of the accumulated heat that a plant needs to grow and develop. They are calculated by taking the average temperature of a day and subtracting a base temperature, which is typically 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The number of GDDs that a plant needs <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> to grow varies depending on the type of plant. For example, corn needs about 1,200 GDDs to reach maturity, while soybeans need about 1,000 GDDs.<\/p>\n<p>GDDs are used as a guide to planting and for determining the approximate date for harvesting crops. Farmers can use GDDs to determine when to plant their crops so that they will mature at the optimal time. They can also use GDDs to determine when to harvest their crops so that they will have the best quality and yield.<\/p>\n<p>B. Heating degree-days are a measure of the amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of a building or other structure above a certain base temperature. They are calculated by taking the average temperature of a day and subtracting the base temperature.
