Calculates the Temperature index for day i and hour j. Temperature index is used to calculate the Daily Infection Values (DIV) for the model published by Shoeny et. al (2007).

Usage

DIV(RH, Tm, rainfall = 0.2)

Arguments

RH

relative humitiy percentage (numeric)

Tm

daily average temperature in degrees celcius

rainfall

daily rainfall in millimeters

Value

infection value for day i ranging between 0 (no fungal growth) and 1 (optimal growth)

Details

Formula adapted from Schoeny. et al. (2007) in European Journal of Plant Pathology.

Examples

DIV(70,20, rainfall = 0)
