Mummy Berry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have only had reports of dried up pinheads and cups in the midcoast, and Hancock and Washington counties this week. I think the cups are done in most locations. Mummy berry season is probably over in most areas.<\/p>\n

Botrytis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have not heard any reports of Botrytis blossom blight this year so far.\u00a0 Where Botrytis infection is found in a given year is highly variable and dependent upon local inoculum in the field.\u00a0 In most fields, this varies every year.\u00a0 Fields with very heavy damage in a crop field one crop cycle may have none or very little infection two years later. Whether this fungus is a problem can be detected by looking for infection of early blooming clones from which the fungus can then be spread with wet weather to other clones. I do not recommend protective fungicide sprays for Botrytis unless you are absolutely sure you have symptoms in your field and a lot of wet weather is forecast for your field during bloom. Spraying fungicides during bloom should be avoided if at all possible.<\/p>\n

\"Botrytis<\/a>
Botrytis infected flowers showing black “hairs” with spores<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Botrytis kills almost open (pink stage) and open flowers<\/strong>. There may be only a few flowers in a cluster or a few clusters of flowers on a stem that are infected.\u00a0 The characteristic sign of the fungus is black hairs (often with gray spore masses at their tips) sticking out from the dead flowers. Please see pictures.<\/p>\n
