Reminder: it is time to set your "green tip" date in the Apple Scab Model. Green tip is happening in Gala, Ambrosia and other varieties in the Central Okanagan now. Apple growers in Southern growing regions should have set their dates already and Northern/Kootenay growers should be monitoring their blocks for green tip. Each year the apple scab model requires this "date" to be entered for each weather station/growing region where you would like to run the model. Set yours and begin to monitor scab conditions using the BC-DAS website.
