The Tree Fruit Pathology Program at Penn State
Growing tree fruit is a huge industry in the Mid-Atlantic region, with Pennsylvania the fourth largest producer of apples and fifth for peaches in the United States. I am located at the Penn State Fruit Research and Extension Center in Biglerville, PA in Adams County, where 75% of the tree fruit in PA are grown. (To note: we are in south central PA and approximately 120 miles south of main campus in University Park, PA.)
My Extension Program focuses on educating commercial growers about effective, sustainable disease management strategies for important diseases problematic in the region. This includes regular participation in winter educational meetings and spring/summer twilight meetings and timely articles and disease updates in the online periodical Fruit Times. In addition, since we're located in the heart of the apple country, we regularly answer questions from "walk-ins", phone calls, and emails from growers, crop consultants, Extension educators, journalists, and anyone with a burning question about tree fruit diseases.
My philosophy for addressing Pennsylvania's commercial tree fruit industry research needs is to follow a holistic approach: all pest management systems (organic to conventional) and full circle (pre- and postharvest diseases). My research program includes: developing season-long management strategies for controlling bacterial diseases, specifically fire blight and bacterial spot of peach, and apple fruit rot diseases occurring during the season and while storage; identifying possible emerging pre- and postharvest apple fruit rots, as well as monitoring for exotic pathogens; and working closely with agrochemical companies for evaluating chemistries and alternative products for suitability and efficacy in controlling tree fruit diseases under Pennsylvania environmental conditions.
