A quick update on Mummy Berry
Development from Dr. Sajid Rehman.
Floral bud counts on April 21, 2021
from the Annapolis Valley Nova Scotia.
Early variety with 11% F2 buds at F2
stage (Figure 1). Whereas F2 buds of Burlington and Duke blocks are still
immature with less than 1% maturity (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Medium maturing variety Duke with closed buds
The fungal apothecia have spike
formation, but they are not mature yet (Figure 3).
As a reminder, these
recommendations are based on conditions observed in the Annapolis Valley, Nova
Scotia and may not be applicable to your location. Infection periods only occur
when bud development has reached the F2 stage, monilinia apothecial cups are
present, and temperature and moisture levels are ideal.
