Disease risks from yesterday’s rain

Soon after I posted the last one, a line of thunderstorms passed Winchester area.  The estimated wetness event started at 1PM of 5/15 and ended at 9AM this morning (5/16).  The amount of precipitation was about 0.4 inches, and the average temperature was about 70F.  It was long and warm enough for Phomopsis, black rot, and downy mildew.

We ended up not receiving much rain today.  I hope those of you who needed a protective or curative-activity material for vines found a window for application as well.
