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 Reminder: Remember to Always Read and Follow Label Recommendations. mancozeb has a Further resources: 66 day PHI a.

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.

  • Impact of Storage Position on Oxygen Ingress Through Different Closures Into Wine Bottles
    J. Agric. Food Chem. 2006, 54, 6741−6746 6741 Impact of Storage Position on Oxygen Ingress through Different Closures into Wine Bottles PAULO LOPES,* CEÄ DRIC SAUCIER,PIERRE-LOUIS TEISSEDRE, AND YVES GLORIES Faculte´ d’Oenologie de Bordeaux, Universite´ Victor Segalen Bordeaux 2 UMR 1219 INRA, 351 Cours de la libe´ration, 33405 Talence Cedex, France Wine bottle aging is extremely dependent on the oxygen barrier properties of closures. Kinetics of oxygen ingress through different closures into bottles was measured by a nondestructive colorimetric method from 0.25 to 2.5 mL of oxygen. After 12, 24, and 36 months of storage, only the control (glass bottle ampule) was airtight. Other closures displayed different oxygen ingress rates, which were clearly influenced by the closure type and were independent of bottle storage position (upright, laid down) for most of the closures tested, at least during the first 24 months of the experiment under controlled conditions. The oxygen ingress rates into bottles were lowest in screw caps and “technical” corks, intermediate in conventional natural cork stoppers, and highest in the synthetic closures. KEYWORDS: Indigo carmine; oxygen ingress; cork stoppers; synthetic closures; screw caps; storage position INTRODUCTION position on oxygen ingress during aging to confirm the Ribe´reau-Gayon data. It has recently been reported that closures are one of the most Several methods have been developed to measure the oxygen important factors that influence wine development (1). Other ingress rates through closures (9-13). The Mocon method, factors are filling height, concentration of free sulfur dioxide at based on the measurement of oxygen transmission rates through bottling, gas composition in the headspace, bottling line dry packages using a coulometric sensor, is widely used (1, 13).

  • Simulation Modeling of Bottling Line Water Demand Levels Using Reference Nets and Stochastic Models
    Proceedings of the 2015 Winter Simulation Conference L. Yilmaz, W. K. V. Chan, I. Moon, T. M. K. Roeder, C. Macal, and M. D. Rossetti, eds. SIMULATION MODELING OF BOTTLING LINE WATER DEMAND LEVELS USING REFERENCE NETS AND STOCHASTIC MODELS Stefan Hubert Franz Baur Antonio Delgado Fluid Mechanics Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat¨ Erlangen-Nurnberg¨ (FAU) Cauerstraße 4, 91058 Erlangen, GERMANY Thorben Helmers Norbert Rabiger¨ Institute of Environmental Process Engineering University of Bremen Leobener Str. UFT, 28359 Bremen, GERMANY ABSTRACT In this paper simulation modeling of a brewery bottling line is described. Reference nets as an extended version of high level Petri nets are being used for the modeling environment and make use of external Java programming language based models. The study focuses on a bottling line used within a small-to-medium sized brewery. Machine data, flow measurements and the determination of the chemical oxygen demand from various effluent locations within the bottling line are used to build stochastic models, which are implemented into the reference net models. The resulting models are shown and a simulation experiment is compared to a real bottling process within the mentioned brewery. 1 INTRODUCTION Sustainability is becoming a major focus in modern factories (Burkhard, Deletic, and Craig 2000, Kirby, Bartram, and Carr 2003, Gunasekaran and Spalanzani 2012). Minimizing the energy and resource demand levels while maximizing economical profits is importan for many industries using bottling lines. This research focuses on bottling lines belonging to breweries, but is also widely applicable to other industry branches. Within breweries it is estimated that the bottling processes is responsible for about 30% of the total production costs.
