Willow woodchip for top fruit scab control

Willow woodchip for top fruit scab control

Investigating the efficacy of willow woodchip mulch as a control for apple scab.

With Field Lab funding made available, initially for analysis of the willow chip potency and then for field work, the team from Innovative Farmers, met with all of those taking part in the trial. The day included a demonstration, discussions around methodology , along with a review of different willow chip salicylic acid.
