Early Blight Degree Days Worksheet and Late Blight update 2008
Early Blight Threshold = 650 Degree Days
The last Date the Degree Days were updated is in bold.
Late Blight Update:  
For Late blight control,  based on the timing of the disease threshold from previous years, conditions favorable for late blight 
are typically reached around the 15th of July.  As of July 18th, late blight severity units have started to accumulate and are projected to 
reach the disease threshold within the next week for the Hooper, Blanca, and Sargent areas.  Fungicide applications for control of late blight  
should be made prior to row closure and at least one to two weeks prior to July 15th.  For current late blight updates, please continue
to check this webpage throughout the summer.
