Prior to the start of the symposium, Cornell University is offering a one-day educational session — The Application of Physiological Principles to Fruit Crops — aimed at growers and Extension educators on March 25 held at the Ramada Inn in Geneva, NY. This meeting will focus on fruit crop physiology and the applications of physiological principles in the orchard. Attendees will learn how to better manage orchards.

The in-depth session will offer presentations by six retiring scientists that include:

  • Physiology of Light Interception, Orchard Design and Fruit Quality by John Palmer of Plant And Food Research in New Zealand
  • Peach Physiology by Ted DeJong of University of California-Davis
  • Photosynthesis, Fruit Growth and Development by Alan Lakso of Cornell University
  • Plant Growth Regulation by Duane Greene of University of Massachusetts
  • Water Relations and Irrigation by James Syvertsen of University of Florida
  • Cherry Physiology by James Flore of Michigan State University

Terence Robinson and Steve Hoying will also lead discussions during the event.
