The following are presentations that were given at the 2022 Mid-Atlantic Fruit & Vegetable Convention. The presentations are given in PDF form, so should be readily accessible through a variety of web browsers and free PDF readers.
Not all of the presentations related to tree fruit given at the convention are available here. Many of the authors / presenters requested that their work not be republished, often due to proprietary content or unpublished research data. If there was a presentation for which you wish to receive access to the slides, consider reaching out to the presenter personally. Many research faculty are happy to share their findings, and while they may not provide access to the slides as presented at the convention, they may have equivalent resources to share.
