Two projects in Greg Peck’s Lab in the Horticulture Section of Cornell’s School of Integrative Plant Sciences received grants from the United States Association of Cider Makers.
Horticulture graduate students, Adam Karl and Nathan Wojtyna, wrote the grants and will be leading projects on the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on orchard productivity and fruit and cider quality and phenotyping the USDA-PGRU collection for novel apples to use in cidermaking.
