Possible Monilinia infection periods from April 25 to April 27
I have reports of cups and pinheads around the barrens in Hancock and Washington counties, including township 24 and 25. I expect most areas now have active cups unless the field is a later developing one. The blueberry plants are susceptible until the cups start to dry up and finish in your field.
We had conditions for infections periods from April 24th to April 27 in fields with weather stations (please see table below). Some of the wet conditions that started on April 23rd continued for two to three days. Last night, April 26th to April 27th, many field downeast were too cold to have infection periods.
We will be having more wet weather in wild blueberry areas from Saturday through Monday and I expect this will again cause conditions for Monilinia infection.
