I would like to introduce myself. I am a longtime member of the Maryland Grape Growers Association and many years ago helped create a grapevine disease management ‘tool’ for our members. In 2008 fellow grape grower Jan Rieke and myself set out to add a section to our association’s website that would help growers better understand the relationship between weather and disease pressure. I have just completed the rewrite of the software (which has been offline since the new website transition about a month ago). The updated version is currently on my personal website and can be seen here: https://www.lawtonhallusa.com (Lawton Hall is the name of my farm). There are links on the bottom of the main page that you might find useful regarding the specifics of the various models that are behind the disease predictions.
Please provide any input – The more eyes, the better. Not only for errors but likes/dislikes would also be very helpful.
Thank you for your time.
