This week our hosts include Monique Rivera, assistant professor of entomology at Cornell AgriTech; Kerik Cox, associate professor of plant pathology; and Anna Wallis, fruit IPM coordinator.
In this episode, Monique talks about timing sprays for woolly apple aphid, and describes the apple leaf curling midge - an emerging pest in NYS. Kerik describes the biology and identification of apple blotch (formerly Marssonina leaf blotch). Anna brings us her State of the State update on regional degree day accumulation, pest developments, and apple phenology. Recorded July 5 and released July 6, 2023.
