Virginia Grape Disease Updates

Finally, here's the 2011 version of fungicide spray guide for VA wine grape (bearing vines) .  I hope it will help you come up with your spray schedule for 2011. Please spend a few hours before the season to think about your spray program.  It will help to: 1) have a plan of what and when to spray; 2) check inventory of your chemicals; and 3) come up with a rough budget.  I understand that you will need to change the plan based on weather conditions etc, but having a plan prior to the season will help you tremendously during the season.

Here comes the 2011 version of fungicide spray guide for non-bearing wine grapes .  The guide for bearing vines will be coming very soon!

Wheats are green, forthysias are blooming, apples have greentips, and grapes are bleeding.  Well, I think spring is arriving in our area! Just a reminder that we have a series of grape-related meetings coming up next week.  Please click this link for more information.
