Crop Consulting
Ridge Quest’s certified crop consultants specialize in commercial orchard management through our expertise in entomology and our collaboration with Universities and Michigan fruit growers. Our decisions are informed by pest lifecycles and their environmental interactions. We employ pest control methods that are both cost-effective and environmentally sustainable.
Orchard Pest Management Programs:
We offer comprehensive scouting and battle plans for improving fruit quality and yields by controlling common orchard pests. Our programs include weekly orchard scouting services and comprehensive pest management recommendations. We assist in complying with record-keeping requirements and all processor, EPA, and NYSDEC regulations. We are especially fluent in programs involving mating disruption via pheromones and have developed a patent for an innovative delivery solution called the Tangler.
Nutrient Management Programs:
Through soil and foliar testing, we determine potential problems in nutrient levels, pH or nutrient utilization. Our analysis helps growers increase yields and increase profits. Orchard fertility programs include prescription fertilizer and plant growth regulators based on the specific orchard’s soil types, fruit varieties and trimming programs.
