Pre-bloom and Post- bloom Fungicide Applications Very Important

In my opinion, the four most important fungicide sprays for grapes in Iowa would be:

1. Pre-bud break liquid lime sulfur or Sulforix for the prevention of anthracnose and phomopsis starting early in the season.

2. & 3. The pre-bloom and post-bloom fungicide applications primarily for the prevention of black rot, downy mildew, powdery mildew, phomopsis and botrytis.

4. The final planned application at veraison. This is the one you want to have a long residual and to provide protection against downy mildew, powdery mildew and some of the bunch rots. This is where a full spectrum, systemic long residual strobiluron fungicide like Abound, Flint, Pristine, Quadris Top or Sovran works well.

The pre-bloom spray is very important because of its protection of the emerging flowers during the critical period of pollination. The post bloom spray is also key because of its protection of the newly forming fruit. This is the first time of the season where a full spectrum, systemic long residual strobiluron fungicide like Abound, Pristine or Quadris Top works well for one of these applications. Depending on which strobiluron fungicide is used, it is always good to read the label and tank mix with a product that will double up with another mode of action for downy mildew and/or powdery mildew as a way to deter fungicide resistance from occurring. The strobiluron labels recommend that no two consecutive applications of their product be sprayed to deter the buildup of resistance. 2

Fungicide resistance is a real problem that needs to be managed for. It is very important to read the labels and use multiple fungicides with different modes of action and tank mixes to deter fungicide resistance. mlw

Alcohol: Alcohol finds its origin in the similarly sounding Arabic phrase for metallic powder used as eye shadow, Al-Kuhul. Loaned into Medieval Latin it found its way to the

Old French word alcool. In the sixteenth century the word’s meaning evolved to cover to any sort of sublimated powder. Finally, in the mid-seventeenth century the word evolved once again to refer exclusively to distilled or rectified spirits.

Herbicide Drift Response Checklist

The months of May and June represent the most active period of herbicide drift incidents for vineyards in the Midwest. Unfortunately herbicide drift can have dramatic and long lasting effects when the vineyard is hit when flowering. Glyphosate (Roundup) and the phenoxy herbicides 2,4-D and dicamba seem to be the most commonly reported herbicides drifting into vineyards.

Here is my recommended checklist of steps to take after discovering herbicide drift in your vineyard:

1. Identify the area affected. 2. Document the date, time and growth stage of the grapes. 3. If possible, identify the source of the drift and make a determination if you want to settle this problem between friends or foes.

Note: You can click on the calendar at the bottom of the Weather WunderMap to pull up the exact weather conditions at the time of application at your location here: http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/

4. Contact your State Department of Agriculture Pesticide Division if you cannot determine the source of the drift and/or you want to formalize the complaint ASAP (30 - 45 day deadline in many states). Highly Recommended!

Note: A third party complaint investigation report from your state department of agriculture provides key evidence and leverage when dealing with damage 3 settlements.

5. Flag a selection of affected and unaffected plants, take high resolution pictures weekly until symptoms subside and measure final yields per plant. Including a tape measure or yardstick as background in the picture will provide a good size comparison.

6. Severe injury settlements should be held off until after next season’s harvest. Photo and yield documentation should be continued.

7. Document everything, including each time you meet with the applicator, insurance claims agents and government officials.

8. Continue your vineyard best management practices during the entire ordeal. You do not want to have the perpetrator and their entourage accusing you of not taking care of your vineyard during this entire process.

MN: New Video Documentary about Midwest Wine

Waconia MN — Cold Climate viticulture is an emerging industry in Minnesota and the subject of a new short form documentary. “Cold Climate Grapes Uncorked” by Emily and Marcus Taplin, will make it’s debut Saturday June 14, 2014 at 7 pm at Sovereign Estate Winery, one of the locations featured in the documentary. Also featured is Elmaro Vineyard in Trempealeau, WI.

This project started when Marcus and Emily View 1:13 min. video preview Taplin visited a winery in Minnesota for the first here: http://vimeo.com/96877409 time. They were surprised to learn the wine they were drinking was made from grapes grown in Minnesota. Emily is a reporter and news anchor at WQOW News 18 in Eau Claire, WI and Marcus is a freelance cinematographer who has worked on TV shows like “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” and “Bath Crashers”.

After learning about the University of Minnesota's involvement in the growth of the wine industry in the upper Midwest, they decided to dig deeper and share their discoveries. Emily is very enthusiastic and says ,”We hope this documentary sheds light on the grape industry in Minnesota, while encouraging wine drinkers across the world to expand their palates!”

The documentary also includes University of Minnesota’s Grape Breeder, Peter Hemstad who was one of the key developers of the Marquette grape that is now being planted in vineyards all over the Northern Hemisphere. The documentary debut and wine tasting party 7 is open to all those interested in learning more about cold climate viticulture.

(Right) picture taken from 6-11-14 Finger Lakes Vineyard Update by the Finger Lakes Grape Program. This deer scarecrow was being used by Bob & Kathy Ruis in their NY vineyard to deter deer and seems to be working well.

The cost of the scarecrow is about $5 They are made of a Tyvek suit, 2 scrap pieces of wood a fence post and two 8” spikes. The spikes were added to weight down the feet of the suit and when the wind blows they clang together and add another element to scare away deer.

“A laser-based device has been developed that detects alcohol vapour inside a moving car, and it could track down reckless drivers who are over the limit.”

From: Remote Beam Can Detect Alcohol in Passing Autos, 6-9-14 – MailOnline

“The worst part of it is, I’m burning [wood in a fireplace] not for heat, but for aesthetics. It’s like, ‘Wait, this is actually pretty hypocritical.’ It’s very similar to the idea of a cork in a wine bottle instead of a screw top.”

From: Consumers appreciate screw caps more than we know, 6-13-14 – Wine Curmudgeon

Sommelier: Sommelier, a loanword from French, has an odd original meaning, though the evolution of that meaning does follow a logical path. In Middle French the word referred to the court official who oversaw the transportation of supplies, which obviously included wine. In that era, those supplies would be dragged along by pack animals. Going back further we arrive at saumalier, the Provençal (another dialect of Occitan)

name for a pack animal ‘driver.’
