At Winchester, we received 0.25 inches of rain on 4/19/11. It started from 9:20AM and lasted until 4:20 PM or so, and the relative humidity was above 90% until 5:00 PM. Thus, we had about 7 hours 40 min of wetness with the average temperature of 55F. It was long enough for light infection of Phomopsis (= low risk), but it was neither long nor warm enough for black rot.
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.
