What does it take to protect peaches in Georgia and apples in New York from a shifting mix of pests, weather, and regulations?
In this episode of AgriCurious, Dennis sits down with Dr. Brett Blaauw, Associate Professor and Extension Specialist at the University of Georgia and Clemson University, and Dr. Monique Rivera, Assistant Professor at Cornell AgriTech and Faculty Fellow at the Atkinson Center for Sustainability.
Together, they discuss the Eastern Tree Fruit SREP project, an ambitious, multi-state collaboration designed to strengthen Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for tree fruit growers. The conversation moves from their unique regional experiences to shared challenges, ongoing work, and hopes for the future of IPM. It’s a blend of science, stories, and collaboration, all rooted in the orchards that feed us.
