Strep resistant E. amylovora (SmR Ea) has been found in many parts of New York state in 2022. How worried should growers be who have resistance in their orchards, or in an orchard nearby?
Please join us for a webinar to discuss the types of SmR Ea currently found in New York state, what growers with SmR Ea on their farm should do to mitigate the damage, and what growers who do not currently have SmR Ea on their farm should do to avoid it. There will also be a discussion about the sampling network, including information about submitting samples for testing in 2023.
Speakers will be Dr. Kerik Cox, along with his students Līga Astra Kalniņa and Isabella Yannuzzi, who have done considerable work studying fire blight and SmR Ea.
