Luke Milliron on BOT in Walnuts

First: this is our 100th episode. Thank you so much for listening, and we’re excited to add some new kinds of content after we’ve wrapped up the survey. In this episode, Luke goes over BOT control in walnut orchards, including what kinds of tissues can be infected, chemical, and cultural control.

We're conducting a survey to evaluate the pod as a teaching tool. Participation is optional, results are confidential and you can stop taking it at any time. We would like to use this to improve the pod, so please consider participating! ucanr.edu/podcastsurvey
