SUMMARY:Herbicide Demonstration Trial
DESCRIPTION:Following strong interest at the Southern Interior Horticulture Show (SIHS)\, please join Pearl Agricultural Consulting for an on‑farm herbicide demonstration trial in Summerland. The boom design\, first introduced to growers during the SIHS Boom Sprayer Calibration Workshops will be showcased again during this in‑orchard trial. \nDetails: \n\nWhen: May 19\, 2026 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM\nWhere: 17614 Matsu Drive\, Summerland\nWho: Pearl Agricultural Consulting\n\n\nThe demonstration is being conducted in a high‑density apple orchard with established weed pressure and active root sucker growth. The trial aims to compare the efficacy of Glyphosate (Roundup Transorb) applied at a 1% rate under different water volumes\, as well as pre‑emergent herbicides Prism and Chateau tank‑mixed with Glyphosate. In addition\, post‑emergent options for root sucker control\, including Aim\, Ignite\, and Phoenix (non‑commercial demonstration product)\, are being evaluated. \nPre‑emergent treatments were applied using a hand boom on April 17\, 2026 (Timing A)\, with post‑emergent sucker control applications planned for mid‑May (Timing B). The May 19\, 2026 field day will provide attendees with a side‑by‑side view of the treatments\, allowing growers and industry to visually compare product performance and water volume effects under real orchard conditions. \nSpread the word\, grab a coffee\, and come check it out in the orchard on May 19! Registration not required.

SUMMARY:BCFGA Virtual Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:The BCFGA is gathering grower feedback on the Enhanced Replant Progrm (ERP) ahead of upcoming meetings with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and IAF. Input from growers will help shape future program delivery and the next anticipated intake in Fall 2026. \nFeedback is requested on what is working well in the current ERP\, barriers to applying or participating\, eligibility issues\, application timelines and paperwork\, communications\, and whether the program reflects real orchard establishment costs and operational realities. Growers are also encouraged to share sector-specific needs and suggestions to improve clarity\, access\, and uptake. BCFGA will use this feedback to prepare a written submission and represent grower priorities in upcoming ERPAC discussions with government and IAF. Growers considering future replant or renewal investments are encouraged to participate. \nRegistration: Click here \nZoom link: click here
