Renovation continues in early areas, and harvest is ending now in eastern Ontario.
It has been a frustrating season for many growers, as rain after rain interfered with planting, then weed control, and harvest. I am interested in more reports from northern and eastern Ontario. One common question this week from growers is how to handle fields that were badly infected with anthracnose fruit rot. Anthracnose is a serious problem that thrives in warm wet seasons. This disease overwinters on plants and in crop residue, and will exist in the planting until it is removed.
