We are pleased to announce that we will be holding our 2025 Spray Preparation Program on December 3, 2024, from 9AM -12 PM. This program will be similar to previous years with Penn State University's Bryan Hed discussing current research on spray programs and presenting options for next year's growing season for vinifera, juice grapes, and organic systems. It is our hope that growers will be able to make informed decisions based off of research when purchasing next year's spray products. Penn State University's Megan Luke will also present on the EPA's Endangered Species Act regulation changes for pesticide management and her sprayer calibration work and the importance of regular calibrations. We also will have a presentation by Dave Combs, a research support specialist in Dr. Katie Gold's Grape Pathology Laboratory at Cornell AgriTech, who will share his take on what grape disease management will look like in a post-broad-spectrum world.  

NYS DEC credits have been approved- 2 in categories 10, 1a and 22- and .5 CORE credit.

YOU MUST E-MAIL A COPY OF YOUR PESTICIDE LICENSE TO KJR45@CORNELL.EDU BEFORE THE PROGRAM.
