SUMMARY:2026 International Orchard Meetup Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Announcing the 2026 International Orchard Meetup Series\nManaging Climate Stress in Fruit Production: Sun Injury\, Ripening Disorders\, and Post-Harvest Quality in North American Orchards. \nMeetups will be 4-5:30 pm PT \nPlease join us for our fifth season of International Virtual Orchard Meetups. \n\nJUNE 11\, 2026 4:00-5:30 pm PT: Physiological Impacts\, Forecasting\, and Monitoring Tools \nJUNE 18\, 2026 4:00-5:30 pm PT: Mitigation Strategies\, Timing\, and Tradeoffs\nJUNE 25\, 2026 4:00-5:30 pm PT: Managing Fruit After Heat Exposure: Maturity\, Storage\, and Disorders\n\nRegister at this link (opens in a new window) \nSince 2021\, the International Virtual Orchard Meetup program has brought together growers\, researchers\, and government and Extension agents to have an international conversation about important tree fruit topics\, connecting industry leaders across North America.  This year the virtual orchard meetups will provide an opportunity to discuss challenges related to heat stress in summer and fall\, identify opportunities to improve fruit quality\, and remain profitable. They will be led by scientists and tree fruit growers from across the United States and Canada. Please plan to attend and join the conversation. \nThe first meetup follows on our previous meetup in February.  The format will include brief presentations by scientists\, followed by a packer/grower panel of industry leaders across North America.  The meetup will conclude with an open discussion in a very inclusive virtual format.  Viewers are invited to share solutions\, ask questions\, and interact with scientists and panelists.  The program is free of charge. \nAgenda\nDr. Emily Lavely\, is the Tree Fruit Educator for the West Central region based in the Oceana County\, MI. She works with other MSU educators\, industry partners\, and stakeholders\, and her work is primarily focused in West Central and at the West Michigan Research Station. Emily supports the tree fruit industry by providing educational programming for horticulture and pest management topics related to rootstock and variety evaluations for fresh market and processing\, irrigation scheduling\, and management strategies for fire blight\, cherry leaf spot\, and spotted wing drosophila\, among others. Emily is a team member of the International Webinar Meetup Series since 2023. \nDr. Kirti Rajagopalan is part of the Land\, Air\, Water Resources\, and Environmental Engineering emphasis area of the Department of Biological Systems Engineering. Her Agricultural\, Natural and Human Systems modeling group develops and utilizes a variety to modeling approaches to better understand and manage water and agricultural resources. The group focuses on trans-disciplinary efforts to problem solving and works closely with colleagues from a broad range of disciplines including engineering\, economics\, entomology\, physiology\, statistics\, and agronomy. \nDr. Arthur DeGaetano received an interdisciplinary Ph.D. focusing on Climatology and Horticulture from Rutgers University in 1989. He was an assistant professor in the Department of Meteorology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City\, South Dakota until 2001. Art began his career at Cornell in 2001 as a research climatologist in the federally-supported Northeast Regional Climate Center (NRCC) on Cornell’s main campus. He is currently a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and Director of the NRCC. The mission of the NRCC is to enhance the use and dissemination of climate information to a wide variety of sectors in the Northeast. Art serves as an editor for the American Meteorological Society Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology. \nDr. Lav Khot\, works in the Agricultural Automation Engineering research emphasis area of the Department of Biological Systems Engineering. His research and extension program focuses on “Sensing and automation technologies for site specific and precision management of production agriculture”. Special emphasis is towards integration of crop sensing (ground and aerial systems)\, Internet-of-Things enabled Cyber Physical Systems\, edge and cloud compute driven Decision Support Systems\, Smartphone Apps & Information Delivery Technologies\, precision chemical application technologies and agricultural machinery\, processes & data-based modeling. He leads the WA smart orchard project focusing on irrigation and heat mitigating technologies. \nGrower panelists from across North America\nA group of invited packer/grower panelists from across multiple regions (WA\, OR\, MI\, PA\, NY\, BC\, and Ontario) will provide a brief “state of the fruit” update\, describing what they are seeing in fruit coming out of storage and how those outcomes relate to conditions during the 2025 growing season. \nWhether you are a fruit grower with ample experience\, one that has modest experience\, or one that is just getting started\, the 2026 International Virtual Orchard Meetups will be the right setting for you to ask questions and find alternative solutions. We hope you will be able to join us on Friday February 27! \nThis year the 2026 series is co-sponsored by AgIAD (link to the project opens in new window) an NSF and USDA NIFA project\, and SPARC a USDA SCRI project (link to project opens in new window) \nPlanning Team\nKristy Grigg-McGuffin (OMAFRA)\, Sonia Hall (WSU)\, Lindsay King (BC-AF)\, Emily Lavely (MSU)\, Bernardita Sallato (WSU)\, Mario Miranda Sazo (CCE LOF)\, and Daniel E.

SUMMARY:Bin liners to prevent bruising from harvest to storage
DESCRIPTION:Bin Liner – “The Airbag for Fruit” \nHenco Smit will present his work from South Africa and Washington on reducing bruising from orchard to warehouse with his bin liners and Impact Monitoring System. \nHenco has engineered it to be a reusable\, ventilated shock-absorbing bin liner that is an “Airbag”. It protects fruit during the post-harvest handling process from picking to line dumper with a demonstrated increase of 1½ to 3 packs per bin. \nHenco will also introduce growers and warehouses to an wireless Impact Monitoring System that pinpoints bruising hotspots in the supply chain and provides practical solutions to further reduce bruising and improve packouts. \nHenco has 26 years of experience managing apple warehouses and working closely with growers in South Africa. Combined with his wealth of international experience\, Henco is now engineering practical solutions for growers and warehouses to improve their packouts and handling efficiencies. \n**Washington State University Extension does not endorse any specific product\, company\, or service. This presentation is being hosted solely for educational and informational purposes to increase awareness of emerging technologies and industry practices.**

SUMMARY:Granny Instructional Workshop - Objective Starch Measurements
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, July 9th at 10 AM for a workshop/training on the use of Granny\, a software designed for rating fruit using machine learning and image processing. Rather than using subjective measurements made by different people\, Granny allows for an objective measurement of starch values to inform management decisions. Granny can be operated as either a command-line software tool or through the webpage available at: https://grannyapp.org/. \nThe software is free to use and is open-access. While the command-line software is more robust and allows for fine-tuning\, the webpage is also available for those who are not comfortable/familiar with command-line software. \nWe will cover basic installation\, operational instructions\, and common mistakes to be avoided when implementing Granny into your current operations. \nGuidelines and documents can be found at the following links: \nhttps://github.com/SystemsGenetics/granny/tree/main/docs \nhttps://granny.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users_guide/about.html
