Scaffolds 01 index

Must have been a temperature-response thing, but the 2001 edition of the Pest Management Guidelines for Commercial Tree-Fruit Production are finally available, only a little behind the crocuses, so copies should be showing up at your local CCE office before long if they haven't already appeared. This year's version includes a completely new chapter on Nutrient Management for Apples written by Dr. Lailiang Cheng (Dept. of Horticulture), as well as a revised and improved section on sprayer preparation and calibration, courtesy of Dr. Andrew Landers (Dept. of Agricultural and Biological Engineering). Before we start getting calls, I would point out that we know the footer of every page is labeled "Tree Fruit 2000", and also that there are some misalignment problems with the page-edge tab markings keyed to the back cover. Not to mention the slightly mysterious situation with Figs. 15, 16, and 16A. No excuses are offered, but anyone who's worked with publications of this type knows that printing is not an exact science.

In addition, we can now announce that this publication finally has an online version, as a series of PDF files, at: http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/treefruit/. We're still working to make a few of the links a little easier to use, but for the most part it's all there; thanks go to John Zakour (Communications Services) for all his efforts.
