Hello Dear Growers!
I hope you
all had a good week. This week we visited the Bear River, Shelbourne- Yarmouth
regions, met with many growers and saw several new sites. Thank you all for
welcoming us, and I look forward to following up with you soon.
Pests
to look out for:
-Phylloxera:
Please
note that Phylloxera has red galls on the edges as well as on the underside of
the leaf.
Erineum Mite: Galls are green, and the underside of the leaf is pocketed and white.
Black

As mentioned
in the previous blog post,
· Phylloxea can be managed with Movento.
· Erineum Mite: Purespray Green 13 E. Begin applications when mites first appear
and repeat every 10-14 days. Ensure thorough application.
· Black Rot: Several products are available;
please refer to: https://www.perennia.ca/pest-guides/ to ensure proper rotation of

And
please, do make sure you continue your spray programs even though we have had a
good stretch of hot weather.
The best time to spray is just before bloom and when the fruit has just set.
Thank you all for your time this week.

any questions, do contact me.
