Apple Bloom Model

METCON produces a three-day forecast apple bloom model each day. This model indicates the current apple bloom stage based on global accumulated growing degree days. For each forecast day the model produces an overall apple bloom damage risk, as well as estimated areas that may experience 10% or 90% apple bloom damage.
