# How can I view Growing Degree Days/Hours (GDD, GDH) in FarmRoad?

Growing degrees can help you gain a more accurate understanding of the development of your crops than relying on time alone

FarmRoad can automatically calculate growing degree days (GDD) and growing degree hours (GDH) for a given sector or sensor.

1. Go to **Data Studio**.
2. Open the dashboard you want to use, or create a new one.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click **Add graph or widget**.

4. Select **Growing degrees (GDD, GDH)**.

5. Choose the calculation method you want to use (read about the differences [here](https://knowledge.farmroad.io/what-is-the-difference-between-the-growing-degree-calculation-types?hsLang=en)), and select the relevant sector or sensor.

6. Specify a base temperature for the calculation, an optional maximum temperature above which additional growing degrees are not accumulated, and a start date.

7. Click **Done**.

Your dashboard will reload and display the new Growing Degrees graph.
