Fungicide application template

I have updated my fungicide application template that I have been using for my fungicide guides. If you are interested in, it can be downloaded from this link. (will open a new Google Doc page) Many thanks to Mr. Bob Romsey who shared the original template to me!

NOTE (8 march 2017): It says it is "View Only", but you can download the file. If you select "File" from the top menu of Google Drive, you will see "Download As" submenu which has several options for the file type. (I should have mentioned it when I posted. Sorry!)

Please note that this is just a template. Your program will differ based on what you see in your vineyard(s). Please use it with VCE's Pest Management guide (linked under "Resouces"). I have been migrating my fungicide guide to an online database, but it won't come alive until late this year or 2018, thus, refer to either the PMG or Southeastern IPM guides (also linked under "Resources") for your reference for more detailed information on grape disease management.

    Can you change the settings so that this document can be copied? Currently it is view only.
    Thanks! Jake Busching

  2. Hi Jake, You should be able to download the file from "File" > "Save As..." If that does not work, I will post it as an Excel file.

Disease risks from yesterday's rain

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.

EPA is reviewing captan

Captan, which we use extensively to manage downy mildew, Phomopsis, ripe rot, and other grape diseases, is currently under review by the EPA. In order to keep captan as one of our tools to control grape diseases,  please respond to the EPA's registration review page to post your comment  (will open the EPA page). With increasing cases of fungicide resistance with newer products in our region, it is very important for the majority of commercial grape growers located east of the Rockies to keep older multi-site materials such as captan to be used as a backbone of the spray program.  Also, please forward the message to other producers and stakeholders who should respond to the need for this fungicide in our industry.
