The 11th update for Thursday May 16th is as follows:
Note: This post is based on information from Thursday May 16th.
Most monitored sites in the province are showing cups that have dried up. This means disease risk is rapidly decreasing but there is still some disease risk, particularly in later developing fields.
If a fungicide
application was made this week, it will provide protection for 7-10 days which
will give protection through the end Monilinia season.
For those that made
an application more than 10 days ago, and you are in a traditionally later developing
field, you may have a small risk of further infection. However, there is just a
small chance of rain Friday and it is calling for sunny but cool temperatures through
the weekend, so infection risk should be reduced.
For most of mainland Nova Scotia the risk of further Monilinia
infections is almost gone.
Growers should begin considering Botrytis management
programs.
