This year, we are trying to schedule timing of the meetings for the 5-6 mm stage.
Come and hear updates on insect and disease status. Did we have good pollination conditions, good fruit set conditions, and how aggressively should we thin this year? How do you make frost-damaged thinning decisions this year? Poli Francescatto, Mario, and some regional crop consultants will be on hand to discuss thinning considerations and recommendations for this year. There will also be some information on the crop situation around the country. Cornell faculty and the LOF team members will be there to answer questions. Bring any pest samples for identification (in a bag).
