2015 Spray Record-Keeping Spreadsheet Now On-Line

The Mid-Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Convention is upon us and as part of the new year we have updated our Orchard Spray Record-Keeping Spreadsheet for 2015.

We added a new column to the spreadsheet titled 'PHI Release Date' as an added safety measure for worker safety as well as to keep up with improved food safety standards. This column idea came as a great recommendation from a PA grower and we are always eager to hear feedback from any and all who use this sheet. As always we have updated old formulations and added new products such as Harvista. We hope this sheet continues to be a support in your spray programs. Happy new year to all and we wish you a bug free year!

Growers continue to provide excellent suggestions for improving the spreadsheet, and we try our best to incorporate their ideas. We are always eager to hear feedback from any and all who use this sheet.

Video: Digging Into the Corn Rootworm Issue

The small can be mighty in making a corn crop bigger and its roots stronger. Root worm has long been a nemesis of the corn farmer and a tiny nematode has been introduced to help stop the problem before it can, well, take root. We first talked to Keegan Shields in January of 2025. One year later, we hear how his product at Persistent BioControl fared in the fields and expansion plans on a number of fronts.
