SUMMARY:Disease report May 22nd
DESCRIPTION:Hancock and Washington counties. \nI had a report that there are still some pinheads and cups around the barrens on May 20th.  I think we are near the end of the mummy berry season for this year.  We did have conditions for another infection period from the evening of May 20th to May 21st at all weather stations in Hancock and Washington counties.  If you have a later developing field or a wetter field\, you may have had infection in your field.   The infection periods started in the evening\, 6:30pm  to 8:30pm of May 20th at all weather stations.  Fungicide applications for controlling mummy berry are not recommended  at this time since they will have little effectiveness. \nBotrytis – all areas  \nWith bloom and long periods of wet weather\, there is a risk of Botrytis blossom blight IF the fungus is present in your field.  The best way to see if this is a concern is to examine early blooming clones for dead flowers and see if the flowers have the characteristic black hairs of Botrytis infection.   If you do have Botrytis in early flowers\, then you should be continue to monitor to see if it spreads.  The risk of infection by Botrytis is higher when there is longer  periods of  wet weather at warmer temperatures.   I do not suggest spraying for Botrytis blossom blight unless you are sure you have this disease.   Remember mummy berry also kills flowers.

SUMMARY:Pollinator Identification/Behavior & Disease IPM @ Coastal Blueberry Services\, Union\, ME
DESCRIPTION:Expertise: Paul Sweetland\, Frank Drummond\, Eric Venturini\, Lily Calderwood\, Seanna Annis \nWe will hear about Paul Sweetland’s observations and approach to pollination in his wild blueberry fields. Frank Drummond (UMaine) will help the group identify the pollinator species present and the amount of pollination occurring. Eric Venturini (NRCS/Xerces) will explain their new NRCS IPM practice and Lily Calderwood (UMaine) will share tactics to reduce pesticide risk to bees through weed and habitat management. Seanna Annis will talk about mummy berry disease and its connection to pollination. \nPesticide credits: 1
