Thunderstorms went through yesterday in Winchester area; however, air was dry (RH<80% even during the rain), and the sun came up soon after that, thus, leaves were probably dry soon after the rain. It was probably not a disease risk event. We are expecting to see more rain this afternoon.
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.
Birds damage is also starting to occur.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good reminder! Bird damages can end up with Botrytis and other late season rot.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more images of your grapevines throughout the process, just to compare mine with :)
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI think that's a good idea. I will try to put as much pictures as possible!
