Comparison of eight degree-days estimation methods in four agroecological regions in Colombia Comparação de oito métodos para calcular graus-dia em quatro regiões agroecológicas

Eight methods were used to estimate degree-days in four Colombian localities. Four methods have been previously proposed in literature: Simple Sine, Double Sine, Simple Triangle, and Double Triangle methods. The other four methods are proposed in this research: Simple Logistic, Double Logistic, Simp...
