Pomewest and Stonefruit WA invites you to a workshop on pome and stone fruit disease management

The aim of this event is to improve the local knowledge and understanding to enable better preventative and control measures using the disease modelling support system RIMpro

This is the second disease modelling workshop which will review the RIMpro modelling predictions for this spring and investigate what happened in the orchard.  The disease modelling decision support system (DSS) has been used on the host orchard properties and we be looking in the orchard to see the outcomes.  This workshop is for all pome and stone fruit growers who are interested in improving the management of black spot and powdery mildew in apples, pear scab and brown rot for stone fruit.
