Downy mildew, powdery mildew, black rot, anthracnose – if left unchecked, these diseases and others can destroy a grape crop and severely compromise vine health and longevity throughout the northern grape growing regions. Fortunately, through cultural practices and timely application of fungicides, these diseases can be managed. However, for a management program to be both effective and economically sound, the right products must be used at the right time. Patty McManus, a plant pathologist with the University of Wisconsin, will discuss anthracnose, an emerging disease in the northern states that is especially troublesome on cold-climate cultivars. Wayne Wilcox, a plant pathologist with Cornell University, will cover the essentials in designing a fungicide spray program that takes into account fungicide, plant growth stage, and weather variables.dafd
