Eastern Viticulture and Enology Forum Webinar:
Spring frost mitigation strategies with chemical products and delayed pruning.
Featuring:
- Imed Dami, professor of viticulture, Ohio State University
- Michela Centinari, associate professor of viticulture, Pennsylvania State University
When: Wednesday, March 24, 3:00 Eastern Standard Time
Topics to be covered:Spring frost injury is a recurring threat in vineyards; this is especially true in recent years when moderate late winter and early spring temperatures have hastened bud break and increased frost damage risk. Cultural management options to delay bud break may decrease the incidence and magnitude of frost damage. The Spring Frost Mitigation Strategies with Chemical Products and Delayed Pruning webinar will review two tools used to mitigate spring frost damage in vineyards – the application of chemical spray products to delay bud break and increase freeze tolerance; and delayed pruning to delay basal bud break.
Webinars are offered at no charge, but registration is required.
