As I See It: Apple Thinning, Disease, and Peach Freeze Damage
-Win Cowgill, Agricultural Agent
This past weekend brought bright sun and warmer temperatures by Sunday. Many North Jersey Growers were doing more apple thinning including myself. Sunday was used to cover all apples with a very late petal fall insecticide for plum curculio (PC), fungicide and Strep. We saw the first PC activity on Monday morning at Rutgers Snyder Farm.
