Virginia Grape Disease Updates

It looks like I forgot to upload my slides from recent extension meetings. So here you go! 1) Slides from VVA meeting on grape pathology research projects and grapeIPM 2) Slides from pruning workshop 3) Slides from IPM workshop 25 March 2020  Note: for #3, I am posting one from yesterday (but not the one from Tuesday) since this one is more up-to-date. As Tony mentioned yesterday, although we do not have a plan for face-to-face meetings at this point, we are available through email. Send me an email if you have questions regarding grape disease management. It would work better if you can send me pictures of affected grapevines. ;)

I cannot keep adding people at this point, so, I closed the registration. I am looking forward to seeing you via Zoom later today!!!

We are in the last stage of the developmental phase, and are welcoming users to test it out. There are some details to be polished, but most of the functions are available. I have been using it in the past two seasons, and I am surprised how it made my spray preparation and record-keeping easier. If you wish to participate, please go to grapeIPM.org and request a new account. It is free for now. If you just want to see how it works, we created a guest account.
