INTRODUCTION
As degree-day models for specific insects and plants are placed on-line, appropriate documentation will be placed in this page. Wherever possible, the original published references have been used to prepare this documentation. In some cases, data are too new to have been published and will be presented here or within linked pages. In other cases, the summary information prepared by the University of California at Davis has been repeated here if appropriate.

Disclaimer: No claims are made as to the correctness or appropriateness of this information for your particular needs. No specific pest control products are intended for endorsement or use. This responsibility rests solely with the people who interpret and implement information from this and other sources. Use all predictive information with caution - errors occur, and predictive models do not replace the need for proper monitoring in the field. If you observe conditions that differ substantially from model predictions, please contact us to determine if the model inputs were incorrect, if the model functioning or weather data are in error, or if the model is inappropriate for your conditions.

Summary and Background:
Small broomrape is an annual, parasitic weed that was discovered in red clover seed production near Canby in 1998, and since has spread rapidly through clover production in the Willamette Valley. It spends about 5 months below ground attached to the host, emerges in late-spring, and produces about 1 million dust-like seeds per stalk 3 weeks or so after emergence. Thus, the difficulty is in discovering the below ground attachments in a field prior to emergence so that they can be controlled early enough to prevent yield loss or seed production. Postemergence control does not work well given that viable seed is produced 3 weeks after emergence. With this in mind, we conducted controlled environment studies to characterize small broomrape development on red clover relative to temperature. The model was validated with 3 years of field observations in red clover near Aurora, OR, and was pretty accurate in all years. We used a GDD base of 0 C and began GDD accumulation on January 1.
