TrackTrap - Model Cumulative Growing Degree-Days for Pest Monitoring
Raw data from pest monitoring/traps can be correlated with
environmental factors such as temperature, growing degree day
etc. to get useful insights about the pest phenology. This
package pulls temperature data from the California Irrigation
Management Information System ('CIMIS',
<https://cimis.water.ca.gov>) or the 'Daymet' application
programming interface ('API', <https://daymet.ornl.gov>) for a
user-specified time period and calculates cumulative growing
degree-days. Users provide pest development thresholds (lower
and upper temperatures) and the geographic coordinates of the
trap location to track emergence and phenology.
