Hello, everyone:

We have a special opportunity to hear and learn from two experts about 
effective spraying. The program is in two parts. Pre-register for Part I 
using the link above, and as an added bonus you will also get a zoom 
link for the Part II program that follows, a Q&A with Paul Crout.


*Part I, 1:40-2:45: Building a Spray Program That Works, with Fritz 
Westover. * Growers often fall into a pattern of vineyard spraying that 
may not adapt well to the changes of the growing season. Fritz will 
cover the best spray product options for controlling fungal diseases, 
including organics, and when to best use them. He will also cover the 
modes of action of fungicides and how to make the most effective tank 
mixtures to improve spray efficiency and reduce pesticide output. He 
will walk you through the key concepts of disease prevention for each 
critical growth stage of the season. Tips for adjusting product rates, 
incorporating spray adjuvants to enhance effectiveness, and modifying 
your spray goals over the course of the season will be presented. This 
program is exclusively for the VASCM. Pre-register using the link above 
and you will also get a link to the bonus Q&A with Paul Crout that 
starts at 3:00 (this will be a separate zoom link).


*Part II, 3:00-4:00: Q&A on Spraying with Paul Crout, **CCA, PCA, and 
agronomist with Helena Agri Enterprises*As a bonus, Fritz is inviting
