Scaffolds – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Surprise! On inauguration day, here's a special episode of Scaffolds focused on challenges in bringing non-toxic, insect behavior-modifying chemicals ("semiochemicals") to market. These regulatory hurdles hinder small businesses and innovation. Given the current emphasis on government efficiency, I explore this issue with Dr. Agenor Mafra-Neto, CEO of Isca Technologies, sharing his inspiring journey of founding a successful company and turning ideas into impactful solutions.

Thank you for listening to Scaffolds Season 2! We'll see you next season.

In this episode of scaffolds, I talk about the heat wave and woolly apple aphid information, Kerik gives us a midseason pathology update, and Anna continues our state of the state update on degree day accumulation and trap captures.

On this week’s episode of scaffolds, Monique talks to Dr. Tracy Leskey, an entomologist at USDA ARS and the director of USDA’s Appalachian Fruit Research Station and we are also joined by Dr. Laura Nixon, a postdoctoral researcher in her laboratory working on apple pest management. Kerik lets us know about the potential for powdery mildew and other disease updates, and Anna gives us our weekly state of the state update on trap captures and degree day accumulations.
