Molitor, D., Fruehauf, C, Baus, O., and Berkelmann-Loehnertz, B. 2012. A cumulative degree-day-based model to calculate the duration of the incubation period oí Guignardia bidwellii. Plant Dis. 96:1054-1059.The duration of the incubation period of Guignardia bidwellii on leaves and clusters of Vitis vinifera strongly correlates to temperature. To describe this relationship mathematically, a new, cumulative degreeday-based model was developed. According to this model, first symptoms on leaves appear after reaching a threshold of 175 cumulative degree-days (calculated as the sum of average daily temperatures between 6 and 24°C starting on the day after the infection). On clusters, the duration of the incubation period is additionally affected by their respective developmental stages. For 'Riesling', the duration of the incubation period on clusters corresponds to the duration on leaves until reaching £he phenological stage "berries beginning to touch" but extends continuously with ongoing phenological development. Therefore, a correction factor recognizing cluster phenology was derived to calculate the cumulative degree-day thresholds for the occurrence of first symptoms on clusters after reaching "majority of berries touching". Hence, this present model allows the estimation of fungal development and forecasts the appearance of new symptoms on leaves as wel as on clusters, enabling growers to more precisely schedule curative as well as protective fungicide applications against grape black rot.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
