The Northeast Sustainable Apple Production Newsletter wants to broaden its base of contributors. Over the past four years, the Newsletter has gotten most of its contributions from the Northeast SARE project to develop sustainable apple production, and a similar project for ecosystem-based orchards in the Middle Atlantic states. The Newsletter's goal is to serve as a means of relatively rapid and informal information exchange on the topic of sustainable apple production techniques. The Newsletter is aimed at growers, marketers, researchers and consultants involved in apple production and sales. The format of articles is varied, though the intent is to communicate with a broad range of professionals and interested readers.
All relevant material is welcome, from a short paragraph to several pages.
Methods of pest management including IPM, biocontrol, cultural control. Mixed cropping systems for apples with other plants and animals. Storage or post-harvest treatment. Descriptive work on orchard ecosystems. There are undoubtably other topics which would contribute to more sustainable apple production.
