It's time to spray for insects. Your schedule depends on how warm the weather is, which can be measured with a backyard weather station. The data extracted from the station drives models of insect development that predict when sprays will be most effective. This announces an update to my WeeWX extension that calculates insect development stages. WeeWX Users may download the "tarball" from: * http://lacusveris.com/Phenology/weewx-phenology-1.2.tar.gz For the mildly interested, complete and utter documentation is at: * http://lacusveris.com/Phenology/ Many insect models are supported, including several for the following species: * Apple Maggot * Codling Moth * Corn Leaf Aphid * Leafrollers * Gypsy Moth * Green Peach Aphid * Oriental Fruit Moth * Peachtree Borer * San Jose Scale * Squash Bug * and many, many more.... In the wake of the Plague, folks are turning to backyard gardening and orcharding in droves for the benefits of social distance and to reduce reliance on commercial food sources. Some even hope to save money by growing their own. They're building up immunity in the sunlight and fresh air, too, maybe. If you're thinking about doing the same, now's the time to secure sources of plant materials, gardening and preservation supplies, and agricultural chemicals because these things have been and will continue to be in short supply. Quick! Before evenings get too short, bone up now on how to start this season with resolve. - -- .. Be Seeing You, .. Chuck Rhode, Sheboygan, WI, USA ..
