Latest Updates

February 15th, 2025Welcome to the 2025 GDD Tracking Season

Although winter seems very much entrenched in the Great Lakes region with snow and frigid temperatures in the forecast, GDDTracker starts counting on February 15. Spring is when GDDTracker receives the most attention for alerting turfgrass managers of optimal application timing windows for suppressing annual bluegrass seedheads and crabgrass preemergence applications. Beyond the spring models, there are several models that may be helpful throughout the season including the early season dollar spot DMI timer and the Smith-Kerns dollar spot prediction model. To learn about all the available models, click on the "About" tab at the top of the screen. Thanks for your continued support and use of GDDTracker and best wishes for a successful 2025!
