This season strawberry disease prediction models are available for Ontario growers to access to help assess the risk of anthracnose and botrytis epidemics from bloom to harvest.
OMAFRA has partnered with Weather Source to provide OnPoint Weather. The locations on the map are based on agricultural production and use all nearby weather data and geography to provide accurate forecasting data. At the end of the season, OnPoint Weather data will be compared to on-farm weather station data to assess predictive accuracy.
The Strawberry Diseases Decision Support System can be found on the ONfruit blog under the ‘Berries’ tab, or you can bookmark this page: 2023 Strawberry Disease Decision Support System. The Strawberry Diseases Decision Support System includes a map indicating fruit infection risk across the province and a graph tracking risk through the season.
The 2023 strawberry anthracnose management suggestions are also available here.
