It is still very early in the Monilinia season, and we have yet to see active spore cups in our very early fields. With the cold temperatures and snow today things will be slow in developing.
That being said our sites in the western end of the province did advance slightly over the last three days.
Annapolis 8% F2
Caledonia 26
% F2
New Tusket 22% F2
At this point there is no risk for infection anywhere in the province.
Again I would
recommend all growers, with early developing fields, to begin monitoring fruit
bud development.
