Cornell University offers school for fruit growers

The Cornell University Fruit Team will hold an in-depth school for tree fruit growers, extension educators and crop consultants on March 25, at the Ramada Inn in Geneva, N.Y.

The meeting will be a one-day intensive school focusing on fruit crop physiology and the applications of physiological principles in the orchard.

The session will feature six scientists who have been the leaders of fruit physiology for the last 35 to 40 years and who are all retiring: Ted DeJong, University of California-Davis; James Flore, Michigan State University; Duane Greene, University of Massachusetts; Alan Lakso, Cornell University; John Palmer, Plant and Food Research, New Zeeland; and James Syvertsen, University of Florida.

The meeting will be limited to 200 people so early registration is encouraged.

The school will include presentations on practical physiology as it relates to orchard management but also will allow time for networking and discussion.

To register, go here.

For more information call Gemma Osborne at 315-787-2248, fax number 315-787-2443, or email.

The fee for the one-day in-depth school is $100.

The fee for the optional evening dinner with the 120 scientists from around the world who will be attending a corresponding scientific symposium on fruit crop physiology is $50.
