Secondly, I'm not going to provide a detailed text description of this episode here because you should have already subscribed to the Healthy Fruit Newsletter this podcast is based off. If you have not, I will post it next week here . K...

The UMass IPM Fruit Loop, led by the apple enthusiast Hawkeye, has returned with a focus on the bitter and intricate world of apple bitter rot. While bitter rot historically occurred sporadically in Massachusetts, it has become increasingly problematic. The pathogens responsible, part of the Colletotrichum complex, have a long history but were only recently identified as causal agents. In the Nort...

Diseases take a rest while insects steal the spot light and ReTain continues to be of interest. This one's short and sweet... or not sweet, depending upon how you look at things.

Wild wet weather increases exotic disease pressure, insects are... well, pretty mellow this week actually and its time to ReTain them peaches. This week's Healthy Fruit is a collaboration between Jon Clements, Dan Cooley and Jaime Piñero with a bonus guest article from Cornell Extension colleagues Dan Donahue and Mike Basedow.

It's a pesty episode this week. Still working through a backlog of Healthy Fruit edition and this one is crawling with critters and rot. This episode throws us (gently) back to the first week of July, the 6th in fact, which seems wicked long ago.

Thinning windows are closing, ascospores are giving up a last gasp and even insect pests are slowing their roll this week. We seem to be at the tail end of the mad spring rush and getting ready to enter into that summer holding pattern (but more on that as things develop). Keep your eyes peeled for straggling plum curculio and #getoutandscout to see if you incurred any primary scab infections that...

Well we are a few days late but not a single dollar short! Insect and disease pressure ramp up this week while your thinning window closes.
