Join growers, consultants, and scientists in a discussion about releasing natural enemies for biological control of orchard pests.  This event will have a particular emphasis on research priorities and implementation of biological control releases to manage pear psylla.  Rebecca Schmidt-Jeffris (USDA Wapato) and Louie Nottingham (WSU) will speak about a new project and we hope to hear from consultants and growers on their priorities and ideas for both research and application.
