Research Update – apple growing

[Experiment set up by Catherine Chapman]

There are new updates, on the Apple Growers tab, about the progress of some of the apple research which is part funded by NACM via the Collaborative Training Partnership for Fruit Crop Research.

We have 2 new students this year:

Hayden Tempest studying “Radio-tagging earwigs to understand the breakdown in successful woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann) control”

and

Marios Stamatiou studying “Managing living mulch (cover crops) to improve soil health (including nutrient cycling) and encourage natural enemies”

The full list of students and their studies are listed and if you would like further information please contact pomology@cideruk.com
