Summer diseases
Extended wetting last night, July 7-8: 8 hr at 70º with 0.15 in. rain. Consider wetting periods 70º and above to be more favorable for rot diseases, especially bitter rot.
Disease management information directed mostly to the Frederick County Virginia tree fruit industry, updated as needed throughout the growing season. Keith Yoder, Virginia Tech Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Winchester, Virginia
