Peel SAP Analysis for Early Prediction of Bitter Pit in 'Honeycrisp'



Peel SAP Analysis for Early Prediction of Bitter Pit in 'Honeycrisp'

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are prohibited from hosting our large in-person educational events this season. In lieu of this, we've been producing a series of educational events via Zoom webinars, that are then edited and posted on our YouTube channel.

At the 2020 CCE LOF Winter Fruit Schools, we spoke about new advances in Honeycrisp tree fruit nutrition and introduced peel SAP analysis to better predict bitter pit early in the growing season. We would like to encourage all Honeycrisp growers to start thinking about which Honeycrisp block (or ideally all blocks at your farm!) you would like to collect fruit for peel SAP analysis this July 2020. We are specially inviting all WNY packinghouses and their Honeycrisp fruit growers to submit peel samples to CCE LOF this season. A zoom webinar with Drs. Cheng and Robinson is currently being organized by CCE LOF to launch this new and exciting extension effort with Honeycrisp on Tuesday July 14 at noon. Here is the link to register for the webinar: https://cornell.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jmcWYoA6RHyLlix_DD-a3w

Agenda:

  • 5 min: Intro, sponsorship announcements - Craig Kahlke
  • 10 min: The Cornell multi-pronged strategy to managing Honeycrisp in the summer and fall of 2020 - Terence Robinson
  • 10 min: YouTube video, sampling, and submission protocol for taking 'Honeycrisp' peel tissue for sap analysis in WNY in July - Mario Miranda Sazo
  • 10 min: Peel sap analysis and bitter bit incidence in Honeycrisp - Lailiang Cheng
  • 10 min: Closing remarks, peel sap reports, plans for the fall - Terence Robinson and Lailiang Cheng
  • 15 min: Questions and Answers 

This event is free, but pre-registration is required. Once you register, if you are calling in with your phone, you will receive an email with a password, which will be required to login. Any questions or concerns with registration please direct to Craig Kahlke at cjk37@cornell.edu.
