When asked what the leading management issue NC vineyards face today,  managers across the state agree that year after year they consistently struggle with sour rot and information on how to manage it has been hard to find. In an attempt to offer growers more information on this disease complex, NC State Specialists and Extension Agent Karen Blaedow have put together a fact sheet entitled "Management Guide for Sour Rot in North Carolina". Visit Management Guide for Sour Rot in North Carolina to view, print, or download.

In addition to the fact sheet, two webinars on sour rot management are now available on YouTube.

Because environmental conditions and grower application methods vary widely, suggested use does not imply that the performance of the pesticide will always conform to the safety and pest control standards indicated by experimental data.
