WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue specialists invite small- and large-operation farmers and growers to attend the Purdue Fruit, Vegetable and Hemp Field Day on July 21, 2022, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT at the Meigs Purdue Ag Center. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., and lunch will be provided.

“Purdue researchers, Extension specialists and graduate students will discuss and showcase their current research at the field day.

  • Apple disease management and IR-4 trial results.
  • Botrytis management in peonies.
  • Cannabinoid hemp variety trial and hemp propagation study.
