Hi everyone,
I updated the soil temperatures
from weather stations located in different locations. We came to a point where
most areas start to see soil temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius which brings
a great opportunity to apply Kerb if needed.
Soil temperatures will change during
day and night times and from day to day still, but if you need to apply Kerb in
any fescue-heavy fields, you should get ready for it.
Kerb is recommended to be applied
when the soil temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius and it is most effective
if followed by rain in a day or two. Please watch our report on soil
temperatures and weather forecasts to plan your application.
Soil temperatures in some wild
blueberry fields can be found

Lastly, if you planning to attend
the Annual Meeting of the Wild Blueberry Producers Association of Nova Scotia,
the pre-registration deadline is November 3! Please email:
info@nswildblueberries.com or phone: 902-662-3306 to reserve your spot! See you
on Nov 17 and 18 in Truro, NS!
