Lake Ontario Fruit ProgramCrop Load Management
This nationwide extension effort is conducted in close collaboration with IFTA Education Director Greg Lang (MSU) and scientists from USDA-SCRI Root2Fruit project (led by Dr. Cheng at Cornell). With so much new information generated through the R2F project about Honeycrisp nutrient management and rootstocks, there is a tremendous value in having an open discussion and in an inclusive virtual format this summer. Each webinar will include a very short presentation and/or a video clip from the IFTA recordings followed by a panel of growers and R2F researchers to answer your questions.
Whether you are an experienced Honeycrisp fruit grower, one that has modest experience, or one that is planning to establish a modern Honeycrisp planting in the next 2-3 years, the virtual Honeycrisp meetups will be the right setting for you to ask questions and find the right technical information based on the most recent R2F science.
