I wish you and your family a Happy New Year, and I wish this season to be a good one for everybody.

Although not as much as I do during the season, I will update this blog for winter meetings and other information that I think you would be interested in.

For a starter, the VVA’s Winter Technical Meeting will be held in March 4-6 at Omni Charlottesville. There will be a session for grape trunk diseases that will be served as an update of the summer technical meeting of 2009. Also, I will show some results from my grape leaf roll disease survey and fungicide performance testings. I hope you can join the meeting.
