this is particularly true of the strobilurin (Abound, Pristine, etc.) and DMI fungicides (Proline, Quash, Tilt, Orbit, Indar, Bumper, etc.). \u00a0Producers should be concerned about post-season leaf spot management, and they should consider fungicide application as needed to prevent premature defoliation due to rust, Septoria, and anthracnose leaf spots. \u00a0Follow all label directions, particularly as they relate to preharvest intervals &#8212; especially important this time of year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00155.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-506\" src=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00155.jpg\" alt=\"DSC00155\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00155.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00155-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00155-184x138.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00163.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-507\" src=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00163.jpg\" alt=\"DSC00163\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00163.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00163-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/files\/2015\/04\/DSC00163-184x138.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-disease-management"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/78"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":510,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504\/revisions\/510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/blueberry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
