In this episode of Between Two Rows, Erika and Kristy dig into two grower-submitted questions: 

  1. What is this fluff on my tree? 
  2. Does timing of nutrient application affect next year's fruit set? 

First, we break down woolly apple aphid ID, damage and what their life cycle means for management. Then we dig into how the timing of your nutrient applications can influence next year's fruit set, with insights to help you plan ahead. Practical, research-based, and grower-focused - all in one conversation between two rows.
