U of G-developed climate model to help farmers predict frost-free days, heat extremes and temperatures in-between
“If we were to look at agriculture in the month of April, we could ask: ‘How many extra days can we get when the temperature is above zero degrees?’” said Dr. Ramesh P. Rudra, a professor with the School of Engineering in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. “We say May is currently the start of the growing season, but if the present rate of temperature change continues for the next 100 years, the growing season could start in the middle of April.”
