Happy Monday Dear Growers!
A quick note to start the week-
Phylloxera is highly active now and may be managed with Movento. Please check the label for rates and directions.
Erineum Mite: Please check the Perennia pest guide for detailed suppression information.

Do be aware of warnings of cultivar sensitivity if you are considering use of oils and to be aware of restrictions on labels as prior fungicide use for some products too close to an oil application may result in tissue burning. Always refer to the label for precautions.
· Black Rot: Several products are available;
please refer to: https://www.perennia.ca/pest-guides/ to ensure proper rotation of products to reduce potential
for the development of resistance .
Precipitation
Forecast and Disease Control: We are getting precipitation at the
beginning of this week, so make sure you are protected against disease
infection (Downy Mildew and Black Rot along with Powdery Mildew and Phomopsis
Cane and Leaf Spot). Pre-bloom through to fruit set is a critical period for
disease control!
Thank you all for your time and see you soon!
Cheers!
