Phenology and Degree Days

Presenter: Lisa Johnson, Dane County Extension Horticulture EducatorLearn about the science of phenology the study of biological events and how they are related to the development of insects. Phenology can be used to predict the timing of the development of pests like squash bug and Japanese beetles, which helps to stay ahead of them. Aldo Leopold tracked phenological events at ‘The Shack’ for many years, as did his daughter Nina, and these data are being used today to track differences in timing of events caused by climate change. Lisa has a bachelor’s degree in Horticulture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s degree in Life Sciences Communication. Prior to that she spent 8 years working in the horticulture industry. She has been the Dane County Extension Horticulture Educator since 2004. Among her responsibilities are training Master Gardener Volunteers, providing continuing education for members of the green industry, overseeing management of the Dane County Extension Teaching Garden, and acting as staff for the Dane County Tree Board. She gives frequent presentations to garden clubs, schools and libraries in southern Wisconsin, has a weekly column in the WI State Journal and is a regular guest on Larry Meiller’s ‘Garden Talk’ program on Wisconsin Public Radio.
