[Ogen] 2024 Grape Maturity at OSU Research Vineyards (4)

[Kinney, Diane]

Dear Grape Grower and Vintner:



Thanks to your continuous interest and support by the Ohio Grape Industries Committee, we are pleased to resume monitoring fruit maturity progression  of varieties grown at the OSU research vineyards during the 2024 season.  This information will be sent weekly to OGEN subscribers and posted on the program website, Buckeye Appellation<https://ohiograpeweb.cfaes.ohio-state.edu/home>. The date of berry sampling and corresponding heat units or growing degree days (GDD) are included. Note that the GDD in your location could be higher or lower than that at our sites. For example, at the Wooster research vineyard, grape ripening of similar varieties is typically 1 to 2 weeks behind central and southern Ohio, and 1 to 2 weeks ahead of more northern latitude vineyards and on Lake Erie shores.  To determine the GDD in your location, visit the OSU-GDD Calculator<http://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/gdd/>. To learn more about monitoring fruit maturity and berry sampling, please read OSU factsheet at the following link: Are your grapes ready to pick?<http://ohiograpeweb.cfaes.ohio-state.edu/sites/grapeweb/files/imce/pdf_factsheets/determining%20Fruit%20Maturity.pdf> Click here for Fruit maturity from previous years<https://ohiograpeweb.cfaes.ohio-state.edu/grape-growing/fruit-maturity-osu-vineyard-2015-2016-2017>.

 We wish you a successful and bountiful harvest!
