Here's an updated version of 2011 spray guide. It is essentially the same as the one went out with the Viticulture Notes. Typos, some minor items, and grammatical mistakes were fixed on this version.
Winchester area received precipitations from thunderstorms yesterday. It started around 3:30PM and lasted until 7:00PM. The actual amount of precipitation was not high (0.05 in) compared with other northern VA regions where a severe thunderstorm warning was issued, but since the ending part of the thunderstorm hit during the evening, the relative humidity was high (>90%) until 2 AM or so. Thus, it accounted for 11.5 hours of wetness with the average temperature of 73F. It was warm and long enough for Phomopsis, black rot, and downy mildew. We are still having chances of rain (40-60%) until Monday.
