| 5 May 2026 - Recent Weather Impacts on Pomes & Stones with Win Cowgill, Scab and Fire Blight Updates | 05 May 2026 | 00:47:15 | |
Win Cowgill is an emeritus Rutgers Professor who currently owns his own consulting company called Win Enterprises where he consults on horticulture and pomology. And consults from New Jersey up to Maine. Kerik continues to talk about getting through extended/multiple apple scab infection periods, and the lack of fire blight risk in a cold bloom. This week on Scaffolds, I talk to Win Cowgill an emeritus Rutgers professor about what is going on in the north east region with all of the freezes and some options for what to do if you have damage in both apple and peach, Kerik gives us an update on scab and fire blight management strategy, and Anna closes the episode with the state of the state update on phenology, degree days, and trap captures around the state.

| 14 April 2026 - Reminders for Early Season, Higher Risk for Apple Scab | 14 Apr 2026 | 00:32:00 | |
This week on Scaffolds, I give some reminders to think about as the season starts, Kerik talks scab predictions, and Anna gives us our weekly state of the state update on degree day accumulations around the state. Kerik: Apple Scab Disease forecast predictions for New York as of 4-12-26: There’s a lot of variability for Apple Scab risk across the regions. Eastern NY and the capital district have an easy week with few wetting periods and low levels of ejection. The lake champlain region may not all be at green tip. Western NY and the fingerlakes have accelerated apple scab maturity and prolonged wetting periods that span the week with high risk. In this region, the average temperatures during wetting periods are low 60s and could lead to many infections.

On this week’s episode of scaffolds, I talk to Dr. David Crowder about the decision aid support system he directs for Washington state tree fruit – this is a really fun conversation and a link to the support tool is in the show notes– it is very different from NEWA and I think it’s worth checking out. After, Kerik talks about powdery mildew, and last but not least, we have our state of the state update on degree day accumulation and trap captures. WSU Decision Aid System

On this week’s scaffolds, I talk to Mario Miranda Sazo, a horticulturalist on the Lake Ontario fruit team about summer pruning. I had this conversation with Mario last week on Wedneday June, 26th– so keep that in mind as you are listening as he references time points. Also, over the course of the conversation, we mention a drawing in the lake ontario fruit facts newsletter, this drawing and more photos are linked in the show notes. Also this week, Kerik talks summer diseases, and Anna gives us our state of the state update on trap captures and degree day accumulation.
