Join us for an afternoon and see how mulch compares to tillage and allowed herbicides in terms of weed suppression and soil health in a block of ‘Honeycrisp’, and how ‘Modi’ performs on different rootstocks in a high-density tall spindle orchard. Advances in organic management of insect pests and diseases will also be discussed. The NY Soil Health Trailer will also be on-site with demonstrations to show participants how healthy soil compares to degraded soil.

This free event is open to the public and includes a light meal.

It is part of a Summer Field Day Series, organized by NOFA-NY, Organic@Cornell, and the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station.
