The destruction of the two cold snaps on fruit production and quality is beginning to come to light for many apple growers throughout the region. For the remainder of this year my plan is to send out weekly updates/management options for different production scenarios based on cultivar susceptibility to disease, % of crop remaining, and targeted markets for remaining apples. I will also include my usual “diseases to watch out for this week” segments. Unfortunately I will likely be unable to account for all financial considerations or production questions in these short posts so please feel free to email me (sara_villani@ncsu.edu) for any follow-up questions/concerns!
