Fire blight update for today and tomorrow

The Maryblyt graphic will be updated later today, but conditions remain essentially as predicted for today and tomorrow: blossom infection could result with wetting from rain, a spray application, or heavy dew, triggering infection Apr 15-17. In high-risk situations, a protective streptomycin application is recommended ahead of predicted infection and with any spray applications of other materials.
