The rain event started on the night of the 8th resulted in about 14 hours of wetness with about 65F in average temperature. This was infection risk event for downy mildew, Botrytis, Black rot, and Phomopsis. Also, in the last two nights, the evening thunder storms brought up night time relative humidity, thus, we should keep watching out for downy mildew development.
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.
