Horticultural researchers will focus on evaluation of apple and peach rootstocks, physiological stress affecting winter hardiness in peaches and the use of growth control chemicals on apples. There also will be an evaluation of seedless table grapes. Penn State horticulturists will explain studies on post-harvest physiology and controlled atmo sphere storage of apples. In plant pathology the emphasis will be on controlling fungal, bac terial and viral diseases through integrated disease management practices.

Test results for SBI fun gicide applied at different rates and timing for disease control on apples, peaches and cherries will be presented. Plant pathologists will discuss integrated control measures for Cytospora canker on stone fruits. There will be an overview of prob lems caused by nematodes with an emphasis on dagger nematodes and the tomato ringspot virus. Specific research areas to be cov ered include establishing dagger nematode damage threshold val ues, studying the effect of ground cover management on dagger nematode population dynamics and screening for genetic resis tance to tomato ringspot virus. Researchers will explain basic work on dagger nematode biolo gy, ground covers and soil amendments. Penn State advances in artificial intelligence will include an over view and demonstration of expert systems for managing diseases and insects of tree fruits. The 180-acre Fruit Research Laborat ory, operated by Penn State’s Col lege of Agriculture, has been pro viding information for the benefit of the fruit industry for more than 60 years. The laboratory is located on University Drive which is off of Route 234 west of Biglerville in Adams County. Parking and admission are free. Lunch will be served by the Fruit Research Lab staff.
