As a pecan grower in Oklahoma, I want to understand the 'Chill Hours' tool on the Mesonet website. After navigating to the tool, identify the specific chill hours model used, describe what type of information the map visually presents, and explain how a grower would use this map to assess chill accumulation for their pecan trees.
Navigate to 'mesonet.org'. Click on the 'Agriculture' link. Click on the 'Horticulture' link. Click on the 'Pecan' link. Click on the 'Chill Hours' link. Identify the specific chill hours model mentioned on the page. Describe the visual information presented on the map (e.g., what it shows, how it's represented). Explain how a pecan grower would interpret and use this map for their trees.
Successfully navigates to the 'Chill Hours' page for Pecans. Identifies that the 'Utah Chill Hours Model' is used. Explains that the map visually presents accumulated chill hours across different regions of Oklahoma, likely using color-coding or similar visual distinctions. Describes that growers can use this map to compare the displayed chill hour accumulation in their area to the specific chill hour requirements of their pecan varieties for optimal bud break and yield assessment.
