Biofix: The first biofix is the first date that moths are consistently found in traps and sunset temperatures have reached 62°F.
Additional information on using this model: Pest Management Guideline

Specify source of temperature data

Select the source of temperatures to be used to calculate degree-days. You may also use your own maximum and minimum temperatures and look up approximate daily degree-day values in a reference degree-day table for codling moth, then total them yourself.

Select from stations in which California county?
