Description

dormancyR aims to provide alternatives to common chill models used in horticulture to compute chill metrics in deciduous fruit tree orchards as well as functions to handle weather data. The package is inspired in the chillR package (Luedeling 2020) and produces compatible outputs. dormancyR also contains functions to download and handle historic (Center for Climate and Resilience Research) and up-to-date (Agrometeorologia - INIA) weather data from Chilean databases. Similarly, the package contains a function to download and handle weather data from a German database (Climate Data Center).

dormancyR was developed for a scientific manuscript published in the European Journal of Agronomy: The importance of chill model selection - a multi-site analysis

Since the package is not on CRAN (for the moment), the developer version of dormancyR can be directly installed from github using functions in the devtools library (Wickham, Hester, and Chang 2020)

devtools::install_github("https://github.com/EduardoFernandezC/dormancyR")
library(dormancyR)
