Protective mildew sprays should begin at the tight cluster bud stage. Where the disease is severe, mildew fungicides need to be continued until new shoots stop growing or about the fourth cover spray. Choose cultivars that are resistant to powdery mildew. Some scab-resistant apple cultivars are resistant to this disease. Mildew-susceptible cultivars include Jonathan, Rome Beauty, Cortland, Baldwin, Monroe, Ida Red, Granny Smith and Stayman. 1, record 2, English, - tight%20cluster%20bud%20stage

La majeure partie des viticulteurs continuent d'éliminer les drageons des vignes ou ont commencé à éclaircir les tiges et les grappes des vinifera. Là encore, durant la première semaine de compte rendu, le temps chaud a provoqué une croissance phénoménale des vignes, les pousses gagnant 12 à 16 pouces dans de nombreux endroits. La récolte s'annonce abondante, les tiges étant nombreuses au stade du bouton vert. La plantation des vignes bat son plein pour la quatrième semaine, les producteurs essayant de terminer l'opération pendant que la zone racinaire dispose encore d'assez d'humidité. Les producteurs pratiquent aussi le désherbage, car les adventices sont en train de rattraper les plantations d'un ou deux ans. 1, record 2, French, - stade%20du%20bouton%20vert

A innovative approach to seniors’ housing that originated in Australia, the so-called "granny flat" is a detached housing unit which can be placed in the yard of an existing family home. Intended solely for occupancy by an elderly parent or parents of the owner of the main house and property, the self-contained units are designed to be temporary and portable, so that they can be removed and relocated when no longer required. 1, record 4, English, - Portable%20Living%20Units%20for%20Seniors

Le «pavillon grand-mère» est une idée innovatrice pour le logement des personnes âgées qui nous vient d'Australie et qui consiste à installer un logement individuel sur le terrain d'une maison unifamiliale existante. Destiné uniquement à être utilisé par les parents de l'un des propriétaires de la maison principale et du terrain, ce logement autonome est conçue de façon à être facilement enlevé et placé ailleurs lorsqu'il n'est plus nécessaire. 1, record 4, French, - Logements%20mobiles%20pour%20personnes%20%C3%A2g%C3%A9es
