On to Avice Hall, explaining how monitoring environmental conditions can reduce the number of powdery mildew sprays needed for strawberry dramatically (yes please!). We managed to get our mildew sprays down to approx. fortnightly this year, but I would love to cut them more if we can get away with it.

Interesting the role of silicon nutrient in cutting both powdery mildew and two-spotted spider-mite. Might need to try that myself, as TSSM is a nightmare, and anything to boost the biocontrol performance would be brilliant.
