On this week’s episode of scaffolds, Monique talks to Dr. Tracy Leskey, an entomologist at USDA ARS and the director of USDA’s Appalachian Fruit Research Station and we are also joined by Dr. Laura Nixon, a postdoctoral researcher in her laboratory working on apple pest management. Kerik lets us know about the potential for powdery mildew and other disease updates, and Anna gives us our weekly state of the state update on trap captures and degree day accumulations.
