Mid-Season Aronia Twilight Tour
Wednesday July 31, 2013
5:00 to 7:30 pm
at Wye Research and Education Center
Queenstown, MD
A mid‐season Aronia Twilight Tour will be held at Wye Research and Education Center. This program will consist of a variety of information about Aronia culture and research program updates.
While Aronia is a hardy plant, a few pests have shown problematic. New pests like Brown Marmorated Stink Bug and Spotted Wing Drosophila will be discussed along with the old problems like Japanese Beetle and Rust. Information presented will include the latest updates and potential control measures. Also, does a soil analysis confuse you? What does ENR mean or buffer pH? Learn the significance of each parameter tested and how soil amendments work. Also presented will be our research summaries and plans for the year. This program will be for both the veteran Aronia growers, and for those just starting or thinking about it.
There is no cost for this event, but registration is necessary. Light fare and beverages will be served, along with Aronia ice cream.
Please register with Andrew Ristvey NO LATER THAN July 26th, 2013
