SUMMARY:WSU-USDA Sunrise Research Farm Field Day
DESCRIPTION:Join Us at the 2026 WSU-USDA Sunrise Research Farm Field Day on September 23rd from 2-5pm!\n  \nThis field day will include rotating hands-on stations with topics covering apple sunburn physiology\, orchard soil health\, codling moth\, leafhopper behavior\, and apple post-harvest. Event is free\, but please register here! \nStation 1: The Kalcsits lab will demonstrate controlled sunburn experiments to better dial in thresholds for sunburn browning and necrosis in apples. \nStation 2: The Torres lab will discuss WA 38 maturity facts\, mitigating WA 38 greasiness\, and WA 64 pre-and postharvest management strategies. \nStation 3: Learn about our new long-term research and extension site for soil health. This year we will focus on our trial focused on alternative methods for mitigating replant disease. See a demonstration of brassica seedmeal and anaerobic soil disinfestation applications. Researchers will discuss the results of a recent 8-year trial and participants will observe the impacts of replant treatments on tree growth in a trial newly planted in 2025. \nStation 4: Codling moth are known to be well controlled with drape nets\, but growers have experienced ‘non-target’ effects on secondary pests\, especially woolly apple aphid. This trial with the Beers Lab explores different approaches to mitigate the non-target effects without compromising control of codling moth. \nStation 5: X-disease: The Northfield lab will discuss current research into how leafhopper feeding behavior and mating calls to better understand X-disease vector host plant use. \nPlease register here!\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Horticulture for Engineers - FIRA
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 19\, 2026\nTime: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM (time subject to change)\nLocation: In the general Yakima area (exact location to be determined)\nThis event is free to attend but we ask for people to register to get a proper headcount of attendance\n\nRegistration\nRegister for the event HERE \nDescription\nThis event is an introductory primer for FIRA USA that aims to equip engineers and technology developers with essential specialty fruit horticultural practices\, operational insights\, and field considerations to improve collaborations between the agricultural technology industry and growers to solve real-world agricultural challenges. Participants will learn how the biology of specialty fruit crops has informed the transition to specialized training systems and trellises\, the goals and timing of pruning and thinning decisions throughout the season\, soil\, irrigation\, and nutrient management considerations\, pest and disease monitoring\, spray application and sprayer types\, and key metrics used to guide harvest and postharvest storage decisions. \nIntended audience\nTechnology start-ups\, engineering and robotics graduate students\, ag-tech developers\, and anyone interested in learning the foundational science and practical operations of modern specialty fruit production in Washington state. \nEvent outline\nThe event will be presented in a series of station rotations\, with attendees divided up into groups initially. \nFive rotating stations: \n\nspecialty crop trellising and training\,\ncrop load management and pruning science\,\nsoil nutrition and irrigation management\,\nintegrated pest and disease management\, and\nharvest and storage considerations\n\nMore to come soon!
