December 18 — Fruit Crop Pest Management Tactics - Brown Bag Program
Gardeners are disappointed when a portion or all of a small or tree fruit planting dies or the quality of fruit produced leaves a lot to be desired. Injury to the trunk, crown (area at the soil line) or roots generally is the primary cause of death to plants and can be caused by winter cold, poorly-drained soil, mouse and rabbit feeding damage, root and crown diseases and borers- alone or in combination-can all cause loss of plants. Reduced fruit quality is often the result of poor pest management during the growing season. Join us for a review of the problems and tactics to improve the situations.
