A review of precision thinning, the carbohydrate model, and region specific thinning strategies, along with pest and
disease management recommendations will be provided by Cornell University faculty. Hosted by CCE LOF and ENYCHP.
Note that Dr Robinson will be providing information on region-specific thinning recommendations for the Champlain
Valley beginning at 3pm, so please sign on by 3:30 to be sure to catch all the material that is relevant to our region.
However, don't be surprised that Terence will already be presenting when you arrive online. His WNY-specific
presentation will take place after the disease and insect management material.
