With more than 637\,224 WA 38 trees in the ground already\, WSU and the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission are working hard to provide growers with the information they need to choose training systems\, pruning systems\, rootstocks\, pollinizers\, and management techniques for high quality fruit. \nWA 38 Tips to Optimize Fruit Quality \nSeptember 27\, 2017 @ 3:00 to 4:30 pm \nWSU Sunrise Orchard\, Rock Island WA \nThe focus of this field visit is management tips for consistently superior fruit quality. Stefano Musacchi\, WSU Professor of Horticulture will demonstrate a new top grafting trial and discuss how horticulture systems impact pack out. Ines Hanrahan\, Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission\, will describe tips to achieve high pack outs\, including how to determine optimal harvest dates\, pluses and minuses of one versus two picks\, and the utility of pre-harvest fungicide applications. Karen Lewis\, WSU Extension will show ways to incorporate mechanization\, such as hedging\, in WA 38 management. \n\nSee the impacts of pruning\, hedging and training strategies on fruit quality.\nLearn how to use the new WA 38 starch scale.\nDiscuss management for high pack outs.\nTaste WA 38 fruit.\nSee mechanical pruning tools.\n\nPlease note the Sept 6 field day in Prosser had to be canceled due to the later season. Fruit is not near enough to maturity for discussion. \n  \nDirections \nWSU Sunrise Orchard\, off highway 28 on Sunrise Lane\, about 11 miles south of Wenatchee.

U NW\, Quincy\, WA. 98848 first. We will proceed to netted orchard block at 11:00 am. \nWhat: Join WSU Extension for a brief training in regards to sunburn and delayed sunscald. This training is of interest both for managers preventing problems in the field and postharvest professionals. \nSunburn and delayed sunscald can significantly reduce pack out. Join WSU for the latest research on preventing and managing sunburn.\n· Sunburn and delayed sunscald physiology and measurements. A review of the critical basics with Dr. Rob Blakey\, WSU Extension Post Harvest.\n· Predicting delayed sunscald. Dr. Carolina Torres\, from the University of Talca in Chile has developed a model that better predicts delayed sunscald. Join her for a discussion of how this model can be used for decision making in the packing house.\n· Practical tips for managing sunburn and delayed sunburn by Ines Hanrahan\, Project Manager at the WTFRC. Ines discusses findings from WTFRC sunburn trials and how to increase the effectiveness of sunburn mitigation and some potential pitfalls.\n· Washington State University researchers are studying how netting in different colors addresses problems\, such as sunburn and stress\, that cost growers dollars. Visit a 12-acre block of Honeycrisp in the fourth leaf at McDougall and Sons orchard where researchers have installed red\, blue and pearl netting. Dr. Lee Kalcsits\, WSU Assistant Professor of Horticulture will discuss how different colors of netting are impacting tree growth; fruit quality\, storability and packout; and topics related to netting installation. \nContacts: Rob Blakey\, WSU Extension rob.blakey@wsu.edu\, (509) 608-9394; Tianna DuPont\, WSU Extension Tianna.dupont@wsu.edu\, (509) 663-8181 ext 211 \nNo registration is required.
