About the webinar: Mycorrhizal fungi provide apple roots water and nutrients, but can we inoculate orchards with these fungi to decrease our irrigation and nutrient inputs? In this webinar, Mike Basedow will discuss the results of SARE funded field trials with four commercial fungi blends at three orchard sites across the northeast (New York, New Jersey, and New Hampshire). This year the main results will be presented by Mike Basedow during a webinar as part of the "Cornell winter fruit webinars' on March 12. He will discuss other strategies for getting a planting off on the right foot during the establishment phase. The second half of this webinar will be repeated in the Spanish language by Mario Miranda Sazo, LOF.
