018: Grower Questions Answered #2

We get many questions from growers like you all over the country and the world, so we are taking this episode to answer a handful of these questions on topics ranging from young vine training to fungicide rotation.  Listen in, as you may have had some of these same questions in your vineyard, and stay tuned for more grower Q&A episodes in the future! In this episode, you will hear: In year two, should I let the fruit develop or drop? When should I start spraying vines in the season if there's rain in the forecast, and how does that affect the spread? What do you do if your vines are at different stages of bud development in the spring and rain is forecasted? Can I cut extra spurs back to the basil bud or thin the new green shoots? When and how is the best way to apply boron? Is using a fungicide with the same FRAC (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee) code on back-to-back sprays okay?
