5.20.18 Possible Mummy Berry Infection period in Later Fields, May 19 to 20

Cups are probably dried up in most areas, except in later fields.  If you have a late field, your field may have experienced an infection period overnight. Please see the table below.

Please let me know if you still have cups. You can email me, Seanna Annis, at sannis@maine.edu or call me at the blueberry hotline 1.800.897.0757.
