Assessing your Spray Program: From Fundamentals to Field Application (Spanish translation available)

This session challenges you to take your spray program and make it work even better. It starts with a refresher on the disease triangle and the principles of integrated pest management (IPM) that underpin fungicide use. Speakers will review chemistries as well as product options—conventional and organic—including systemic acquired resistance (SAR) products and biologicals, explaining how they work, when to use them, and considerations for compatibility in tank mixes. With a focus on botrytis and powdery mildew, this session will provide lessons you can take back to the vineyard for the upcoming growing season.

This session is a pre-requisite for those attending the Spray Optimization Workshop (workshop registration required).
