Last week I had the opportunity to travel around the southwestern part of Ohio and west central Ohio with my partner in crime Dr. Gary Gao. We visited several vineyards and witnessed herbicide injury in all of the vineyards with the exception of one. The one vineyard that did not exhibit any injury to herbicide was totally isolated from any corn or soybean fields. What’s the connection?
Too read the rest of the story by David Scurlock of Ohio State University and view excellent pictures of herbicide damage in Ohio see: “Around Southwest and West Central Ohio” in the May 24th newsletter.
