Using Degree-Days to Predict Cereal Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Egg and Larval Population Peaks

To improve cereal leaf beetle scouting efficiency and encourage the use of thresholds, temperature-based degree-day models were developed and tested to determine their accuracy to predict the date of egg and larval peaks. Previously published cereal leaf beetle temperature development data were used to create the degree-day model. This mo...More
