SUMMARY:A New Approach to Reducing Cold Damage in Fruit Crops
DESCRIPTION:A New Approach to Reducing Cold Damage in Fruit Crops\n  \nWhen:               8 November\, 10 am – 1 pm (lunch provided) \nWhere:              Student Union Building at Washington State University TriCities Campus\, 2770 University Drive\, Richland\, WA. \nVideo conference link available upon request \n  \nNew research at WSU has shown great potential for reducing cold damage in fruit crops using Plant-Based Dispersions (PBDS)\, sprayable insulating coatings comprised largely of cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibrils.  These coatings have been effective at reducing frost damage in all crops evaluated including grapes\, sweet cherries\, and apples.  Treatments with PBDs have improved crop resistance to frost by more than 5 F. \nThis meeting is being organized as this technology is moving toward commercialization.  Researchers will provide updates on field trials\, and commercialization partners will have an opportunity to get input from growers.  We are also looking for partners interested in on-farm testing this winter/spring. \nAll are welcome to attend.  Feel free to share this invitation with others who may be interested. \nPlease contact Matthew Whiting with any questions mdwhiting@wsu.edu. \nExtension programs and employment are available to all without discrimination. Evidence of noncompliance may be reported through your local Extension office.
