The fire blight outlook for today remains essentially as shown yesterday. Unprotected orchard blocks with bloom open yesterday are at risk for fire blight infection if wetting occurs with storms today.
Depending on when wetting occurs and how long it stays wet, it may also result in another scab infection period and our first cedar-apple and quince rust infection period of the year.
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
