I had the opportunity to talk about specialty crops research the effects of regulation on plant breeding innovation today! Back to the blackberry field tomorrow!

Von after one season of growing always makes me smile, but used to make me worry. It’s a slow starter. It will take off in year 2 and become a healthy productive plant.

@jristaino1 @NCSU_DEPP @NC_PSI @FulbrightPrgrm @NASEMJefferson @USAID Congratulations 🍾

[NC Team Rubus @NCTeamRubus]

⁦@_BriannaHaynes⁩ making sure all the strawberry plants are getting water from the irrigation she helped set up. Just one of the many things a graduate student learns.

Have you scouted your blackberries recently?

Late summer means cane and leaf rust or leaf spot diseases in blackberry. High humidity, rain, and high temperatures drive these issues. We’re having to spray our plants down in Hope, AR, and yours may need a fungicide too!

Wondering what broad mite can do to your blackberries? See pics 1-3 below.

We don’t fully understand yield impact but tip dieback in August is an awful sign. Get out and scout ASAP.

Plants in picture 3 got a shot of Agri-Mek and are only 2 rows from damaged plants.
