The fruit team at Cornell University is pleased to announce that it will host a field day on August 15, 2001 at the experimental farms near Ithaca to view research and demonstration plantings involving tree fruits and berries, and to learn about postharvest and spray application technologies for these crops. Attendees will have the opportunity to see plantings of apples, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pears, chestnuts, blackberries, kiwifruit, and other alternative fruit crops, and to learn about experiments being conducted on them. The emphases of the research at the Ithaca locations are low impact pest management, understanding the below-ground environment, variety testing, and postharvest physiology. Included will be a demonstration of three new sprayer types for small trees and berry plantings. The field day will start at 8:00 am, lunch will be served at the beautiful Cornell Plantations, and transportation will be provided to the Lansing orchard located at a spectacular setting along Cayuga Lake. The cost for the event is $20.00. Attendees must pre-register or make a reservation by August 1.
