Dr. George Sundin, Dept. of Plant Pathology, Michigan State University

Thursday, April 23, 2009, 1-2 p.m.  Broadcast from Michigan State University

Learn the prognosis and potential treatment options and updates from MSU's fire blight expert, Dr. George Sundin, in this very practical webinar.  This online course is scheduled just before bloom begins in Michigan orchards, to provide you with the latest information as we head into the scary blossom blight timeframe.

Streptomycin resistance has crept into some Southwest and Fruit Ridge orchards, making alternative treatments mandatory for some.  Learn your options, and get a refresher on the optimal fire blight control strategies.

Dr. Sundin has also discovered that resistance to strobilurin fungicides is present in the apple scab fungus in Michigan apple orchards from two growing locations.  He will discuss alternative fungicides for scab control as well in this webinar.
