November 27, 2017
As 2017 comes to a close, we are seeing the simultaneous retirement of three key faculty members involved in grape pest management research and extension at Cornell’s New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. Collectively, Tom Burr,Wayne Wilcox and Andrew Landers represent 91 years of expertise in research and extension at Cornell. Each of them has written a Research Focus article outlining some of the key accomplishments of their programs. They can all be proud of their accomplishments that have significantly benefitted the industry here in New York – and have had a global impact on the science of disease management in grapes and spray technology.
