Weather & protection
Rain, humidity and disease pressure
Why wet spells raise disease risk and what to do.
Relevant stages: Fruit Let, Fruit Development IV.
- Wet leaves for long periods help disease spread.
- Cut orchard grass to lower humidity (fruit let, fruit development IV, pre-harvest).
- Keep canopies open by pruning and removing water shoots.
- Monitor the weather continuously during pink bud.
- Use the spray window to find dry gaps for protection.
