Yesterday’s (5/5/09) precipitation at Winchester was 0.27 inches starting from 4:20pm (55.4F) and ended at 9:20pm (53.6F); however, the relative humidity was almost 100% until midnight. Thus, >8 hr of wetness with mid 50’s temperature probably accounted for Phomopsis light infection, powdery mildew ascospore discharge, and downy mildew infection.

We had overcast weather this morning, and I hope that you had a chance for application (if needed). We are expecting more rain in next few days and next break could be during this weekend.
