It can be calculated by adding the maximum and minimum daily temperatures, dividing <br />.. <br />the sum by 2, and subtracting the temperature below which growth is minimal for the principal crops in the area (40DF). <br /> <br />Data from 1931 - 1990. <br /> <br />23067jRITA-I02-2S-93(11:I6am)jRPT <br /> <br />Sheet 1 of 3 <br />
