August 2014

Open House for Spotted Wing Drosophila Netting Exclusion and Fixed Spray System Farm Trials

August 13, 2014
3:00pm - 5:00pm
Stephentown, NY

Open House for Spotted Wing Drosophila Netting Exclusion and Fixed Spray System Farm Trials
Spotted Wing Drosophila research continues in our ongoing effort to better understand and control this new pest. This meeting will focus on a SARE Farmer grant funded project looking at different grades of exclusion netting and its efficacy on eliminating SWD from blueberries.

We will also look at a high tunnel raspberry planting that has a NYFVI funded grant project examining the efficacy and labor saving attributes of a fixed spray system in the tunnel.

Owner Dale Ila Riggs has been a leader in the campaign to secure research funding for SWD. The Berry Patch at Stonewall Hill Farm produces all kinds of berries and vegetables for local retail markets.
