Please Join Cornell-New York State Ag Experiment Station Researchers
and Extension Staff to review what is proving to be yet another
unusual season, not exceptionally early this time, but rather
exceptionally wet! Our focus will be the issues and your concerns
related to disease management, crop thinning and whatever other
cropping matters attendees may bring up.
Our meeting at Devoe's Rainbow Orchard on Thursday, May 26 will
include Plant Pathologist Dave Rosenberger, and Extension Tree Fruit
Researcher Steve Hoying, both based at the Cornell-NYSAES Hudson
Valley Lab, and Cornell Tree Fruit Researcher Dr. Terence Robinson,
from the Cornell-NYSAES at Geneva.
AS ALWAYS, bring your questions regarding fruit set, thinning
prospects and strategies, as well as questions regarding disease
issues.
