This mini-workshop is being co-organized with Chelan-area growers in Washington State.

The FRAME team is interested in a concentrate effort in tracking and managing fungicide resistance in grape powdery mildew. This mini-workshop will teach participants about FRAME, how to use our new grape powdery mildew sampling tools, and how to best collect those samples for fungicide resistance testing.  We are also looking for Chelan-area grower-collaborators who are interested in participating in a more detailed study related to fungicide resistance.

Sampling kits will be available for attendees to take home and use.

Pre-registration is not required, but if you are interested in participating in the more detailed study, please email Charlotte at the contact email below. ,, me
