I am also in the Northeast, and I frequent lots of PYO orchards. As far as I can tell, they are all IPM, all the orchardists monitor their pests and disease pressure closely to avoid unnecessary sprays, etc. It's hard to market IPM, as it's a philosophy rather than a set of fixed rules. I think they do it more because it saves money and labor than for any marketing advantage. Ginda |
