There are several associations of IPM growers
that exist such as the EcoApple Project in the Northeast and Wisconsin of which
I am a participating grower. The IPM Institute in Madison Wisconsin is
another organization that is available to growers. This next Wednesday I
am meeting with John Aue, the IPM specialist and Entomologist of the EcoApple
Project in Wisconsin along with at least 6 other growers in the southern
Wisconsin, Northern Illinois area to discuss our spray protocols and compare
them to the Eco Apple Quick Guide Protocol. Each Tuesday morning at 8:00
AM we have a conference call with at least a dozen growers throughout Wisconsin,
southern Minn. and northern Illinois and John Aue as well as a plant
pathologist from the University of Wisconsin to discuss our
programs, current pest monitoring, spraying protocol, disease
issues, etc. It is a wonderful network of growers and
specialists!
