Wild Blueberry Events (online and in-person)

Hello everyone,

As the season continues to advance, I would encourage you to check our event page in the wild blueberry blog. Under the page, you will find events I summarize from Perennia, WBPANS and other institutes that are related to wild blueberry growers.

Just a note, you won’t receive an email notification when I update the event page so please check back for any updates.

Demonstration of UAV, prescription map and modified sprayer system from the CWBIRDI PAN-Atlantic project. Dr. Percival and his team will demonstrate the work of the UAV system, the creation of in-field prescription maps and how the modified sprayer can use these maps to apply pesticides precisely on a wild blueberry field. Growers will see how these systems work and have the opportunity to ask questions on how they could be used.

Demonstration and discussion of weather station use in wild blueberry fields.

More details to share once WBPANS releases the information.
