Management

• Honeoye is the only variety recommended in Minnesota that has shown partial resistance to gray mold.

• In patches with a history of gray mold, remove and discard all straw in early spring approximately when lilac flower buds appear.

• Place fresh straw or other organic mulch between beds to reduce rain splash and weeds and improve air movement around berries.

• Avoid wounding plants. Wounds facilitate entry of the disease.

• See more on how to manage this disease above.
