To review, in addition to the paper copy mailed out every Tuesday morning, an electronic version of this newsletter is also available on Cornell Cooperative Extension's CENET (under the FRUIT menu, on the "Tree Fruit News" Bulletin Board). Or, we can send it to individual e- mail addresses in place of or in addition to a hard copy sent by post. If your e-mail system is so configured and you would prefer an attached file for quick downloading, rather than as the default long text message, please specify a Macintosh- or MS-DOS compatible version. If you just want to receive the electronic version but are currently getting the hard copy, let us know so we can save on some postage.
As always, we are happy to consider contributions (particularly from N.Y. sources) in the form of articles on topics in any of the fruit crop protection or crop production areas, as well as N.Y. field observations, trap data, etc. Keep in mind that we are able to incorporate nearly any graphics into the hard copy and WWW versions, including photographs that can be scanned; all that's needed is a little advance time. For the record, we generally do not send the mailed version of this newsletter to growers, homeowners, or other private individuals not having some fruit extension, commercial, university or governmental affiliation. This is not only for economic reasons, but also because of what might be called "turf" considerations regarding growers' relationships to their local Extension programs. (There are a few exceptions, mostly for people who were "grandfathered" in before this policy was instituted, and we prefer to keep this number low).
This is always a good time to review some of the various fruit information sources currently available from Cornell University. First of all, the 1995 Pest Management Recommendations for Commercial Tree- Fruit Production (the "Recommends") has been available for a few weeks now, together with the 1995 Pest Management Recommendations for Small Fruit Crops, and our appreciation goes to Bernadine Aldwinckle in Communications Services at Geneva for providing continued improvements to the format of these documents. They can be obtained, for a fee, from your county Extension office, or alternatively from Media Services Resource Center-GP, Business & Technology Park, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14850 (607-255-2080, 2090; FAX: 607-255-9946; E-mail: dist_cent@cce.cornell.edu). Also available from these same sources is a selection of reference materials, articles, bulletins, etc. best surveyed by obtaining a copy of the current Catalog of Cornell Cooperative Extension Publications (again, from Extension offices or the Resource Center). Of particular note are some selected references, which follow:

A quick rundown of some of the current developments regarding fruit pesticide changes, arrivals, and expectations based on what we know at this time:
Since some of those who receive this newsletter, and many of their clients (i.e., growers), do not have access to up-to-date computerized degree day information, we've decided to include in this issue charts showing daily degree day values, calculated by the Baskerville-Emin method, for a given set of maximum and minimum temperatures. There are two charts; one for base 43F and one for base 50F.
You will need to know the maximum and minimum temperatures for each day for which you want to calculate degree days. Select the appropriate chart for the base temperature that you want to use (We use base 43 for determining the time to sample for OBLR and STLM). Read down along the column on the left to find the minimum temperature for that day. Use a ruler or your finger to mark the row it's in. Then read across the row on the top to find the daily maximum temperature and down that column to where it intersects with the row containing the minimum, to find the degree day value.
Because of space limitations, only minimum temperatures from 10F to the base temperature are given. This is because, for all practical purposes, when the minimum temperature is above the base temperature, the Max/Min method of calculating degree days is as accurate as the Baskerville-Emin method. Therefore, when the MINIMUM temperature is GREATHER than or equal to the base temperature, degree days (base x) = average daily temperature minus base temperature.
For example, using 43F as the base, a minimum of 47 and a maximum
of 65 (F):
Degree days = [(65+47) Ö 2] - 43, or 57 - 43 = 13 DD
[Average] - base = degree days
Conversely, maximum temperatures below the base are not given because if
the MAXIMUM temperature is LESS than or equal to the base, 0 degree days
accrue that day.
You can monitor daily maximum and minimum temperatures yourself with a (readily available) max/min thermometer (make sure to read it at the same time each day). Or, they can be obtained from local weather reports. If you would like historical information (e.g., January 1, 1995 to today) it may be obtained through a variety of means. Most central and complete would probably be the NOAA Regional Climate Center in your area (ours is the Northeast Regional Climate Center located on Cornell's Ithaca campus). For a nominal fee, they can provide clients up-to-date and historical data for a large number of stations throughout their region. Clients with computers, and either a modem or internet connection, can obtain an account (by calling NRCC user services) providing them direct access to data and information in the NRCC database through their CLIMOD system. At present there is no charge for this account. A 9-page brochure, entitled "NORTHEAST REGIONAL CLIMATE CENTER Program, Products and Services" is now available. The information provided in this brochure primarily describes the activities/products of the Northeast Regional Climate Center. However, locations, addresses, phone numbers, etc. for the other U.S. regional climate centers are included. The brochure can be obtained by contacting:
Northeast Regional Climate Center, 1123 Bradfield Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853-1901 (Tel 607-255-1751; Fax 607- 255-2106; E-mail: nrcc@cornell.eduInformation about the NRCC and its products is also available on the World Wide Web communications network (You must still contact them directly to obtain data). Their URL = http://met-www.cit.cornell.edu
Other sources of historical data may include your local Cooperative Extension office, amatuer weather observers, or newspapers.
