Our region just experienced a stretch of extreme
weather, the likes of which we have not seen for quite some time. While a
weather pattern like this is certainly not normal in our geography, the
possibility for it does exist. The most organized programs with perfect
execution of applications can all be thrown to the wayside if you get caught
off guard by prolonged and severe weather with high disease pressure. When
you see long stretches of weather containing high humidity, high
night time temperatures and ample rainfall, disregard your plans and be
proactive with fungicide applications. Normal 14 or 21+ day fungicide intervals
cannot be expected with the severe weather we experienced. If you find
yourself in the middle or tail end of an application while facing these
conditions, do not try to stretch your app through that period! Shorten
your spray intervals, protect the plant with fungicides and sleep better at night!
