Vineyard development has been moving quite fast. The beginning of bloom was in the middle of June and currently it’s already possible to see bunches at almost bunch closure. Thanks to Jeff Franklin from AAFC Kentville (the last update is in the following link Weather update: temperature, precipitation and even hail!) you can see how the season has been moving in the last couple of weeks.
As the
season keeps moving forward, I’m glad to announce that it’s time the Best Practices
session 4.
Jeff Franklin is sharing this week the main observations of the season in terms of temperature and precipitation until July 26. Always good to remember, this information is coming from Kentville Research Development Centre (KRDC), therefore, some differences between locations are possible to be found.
The first table shows the temperature base 5⁰ C and base 10⁰ C from 2018 until 2021 accumulated each year from March 1 until July 26.
At the end of each section, it’s possible to see the average of the last 5 and
10 years respectively.
The growing season has been moving quite fast thanks to warm temperatures and adequate soil moisture. Throughout the season, Perennia and GGANS are working together to deliver the Best Practices sessions to bring updates from local researchers and on seasonal activities and growers’ experiences.
On Thursday June 8, we had the third session of the season and the recording is now available.

Perennia’s Plant Health Lab is excited to announce the launch of their new website! On our new site, you will be able to find information about our services, our specialists, pathogens of concern, and how to submit samples. If you are interested in dropping off a sample from your farm for analysis, please follow the instructions on our website, and drop it off at our new Kentville office located at 28 Aberdeen Street between the hours of 8:00 am - 4:30 pm. Alternatively, you can contact our lab specialists for more sampling information details. Please visit our new website.

Always good to remember, this information is coming from Kentville Research Development Centre (KRDC), therefore, difference between locations are possible to be found. Currently, most hybrids are in fruit set and Vitis vinifera varieties, finished bloom last week and it’s already possible to see fruit set in the earliest varieties.
The current season has been moving quite fast, especially compared with the last 3 seasons (more weather information can be found in Weather update and continues bloom). Growing Degree Days (GDD) have been increasing steadily throughout the season, which has impacted in faster bloom. It’s still a good time for the collection of tissues for nutrient analyses (for more information on how to collect samples please check Guide for pests and diseases and tissue sampling information), for this upcoming Best Practices session!
