The rain events on 4/16/11 at Winchester started on 4:20AM and lasted until 9:40PM or so, and then the relative humidity was high (>90%) until 10:20PM. Thus, this potential infection event accounted for 20 hours of wetness and the average temperature during the event was 55F. It was long and warm enough for both Phomopsis and black rot infection.
I hope you and your family have a good holiday season and a Happy (and safe) New Year! Thanks again for your support of our programs. Here are some recent media highlights. 😉 The link will open a new window. AHS AREC promotional video that highlights some of our activities. The link did not work... It asks you to log in to VT. I will request the IT people to change the setting, but in a meantime, here's the same video. We also appeared in the Library of Congress project “Winery Workers of Virginia”. One more announcement: I will be moving this blog to a new location ( ext.grapepathology.org ) early next year. I had to make a change due to the email subscription service, which has been terminated. You do not need to change your bookmark or your email subscription. The URL will be forwarded to a new site and your email subscription has been moved to a new site already.
