Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

7 July 2026 - Pest Pressure Comparisons to Michigan with Dr. Julianna Wilson, Fire Blight & Necrotic Leaf Blotch in NY Orchards
Q: How are Michigan conditions this spring affecting pest expectations for the season in Michigan and New York?
A very cold spring was followed by a heat wave, leading to variable and sometimes unexpected pest activity; this has made setting biofix and predicting pest pressure more challenging, with more normal pest abundances emerging only gradually as the season progressed.
19 May 2026 - Pesticide Adjuvants & Tank Mixing with Dr. Christophe Duplais, Fire Blight and Fungal Disease Updates
Q: How should growers approach choosing adjuvants in the tank?
There is no one-size-fits-all; some adjuvants may provide no benefit or even reduce efficacy depending on the pesticide and crop situation, while others improve leaf coverage or rain-fastness. Growers should share field observations and data to help interpret when and what types of adjuvants are advantageous.
19 May 2026 - Pesticide Adjuvants & Tank Mixing with Dr. Christophe Duplais, Fire Blight and Fungal Disease Updates
Q: What are the first things to think about with your water before tank mixing?
Test and adjust water pH and hardness, because both influence how well pesticides dissolve and work; conditioning the water with a buffering agent like a citric-acid-derived product helps maintain an optimal range and avoids binding calcium carbonate that can trap actives.
5 May 2026 - Recent Weather Impacts on Pomes & Stones with Win Cowgill, Scab and Fire Blight Updates
Q: What was the overall strategy for protecting or salvaging orchards after the freeze, and how do growers decide whether to maintain or abandon a block?
The strategy varies by farm but generally involves weighing economic thresholds against potential longer-term losses. If enough of the block remains economically viable and pest/disease pressure can be controlled with fewer sprays, growers may maintain the block and salvage fruit using targeted tools like growth regulators or early thinning. If the expected payoff is too low, abandoning and pruning for next year may be advised to prevent continuing losses and to reduce ongoing input costs.
