Mummy berry Forecast Monday May 2nd

Knox, Lincoln and Waldo counties
There were mummy berry cups still present in Belfast, Palermo and Liberty over the weekend, but by Monday, the cups appear to be done. In South Hope and more southern areas, mummy berry cups appears to have finished about Thursday April 29th.
Over the weekend, the only fields likely to have had an infection period are those with fog or rain event of over 6.5 hours, but this did not occur in either Belfast or Palermo sites.

Unless you have a very wet or delayed field, cups are probably no longer being produced in your field so your plants will not get infected with any future rain or fog events.

Washington and Hancock Counties

There are still mummy berry cups producing spores in Deblois and Jonesport over the weekend and through Monday. Fields that develop earlier were probably finished producing cups by the end of last week.

The only fields that likely had an infection period are those that had at least 8 hours of fog overnight, but this did not occur in Deblois, Jonesport or at the BBHF sites over the weekend.
