August 2012, Week 5 Update
August 31, 2012

Over the past two weeks temperatures in the Northeast have dropped rapidly. As a consequence, most folks are seeing good recovery from summer stress. Cooler nights have made a huge difference. It has also been extremely dry the past two weeks and this has kept most of the disease at bay. Unfortunately, I am seeing both gray leaf spot and standard Drechslera leaf spot pop up, despite the drier conditions. Nematode counts are as high as they have been all season, I expect the peak populations to occur in the next 2-3 weeks.
