The USA-NPN Pheno Forecasts can help you determine when it is time to treat insect pests. 

Pheno forecast maps show when management actions should be taken for key pest species. These maps are updated daily and are available 6 days in the future.  Pheno forecasts are based on published growing degree day (GDD) thresholds for points in pest life cycles when management actions are most effective.

Help us improve these maps! Our pheno forecast map products are still in development, and we seek input on their performance in your area.

More Information

These forecasts are based on USA-NPN Accumulated Growing Degree Day (AGDD) map products.  For winter moth and hemlock wooly adelgid we encourage the collection of ground observations to be entered into the USA-NPN citizen science observation platform Nature's Notebook so forecasts can be verified and improved.
