Growing Pest Resistant Fruit Trees with Thomas Dykstra, Ph.D.

Thank you ❤

drj Westfield Wisconsin what can you do to make your apple tree fruit not to be deformed? Can you over do jobs fruit tree spikes? Thank you for your time and help.

You are so good looking. God has blessed you and the world❤

My pear gets attacked by pear slugs(saw fly), they don’t seem to care about my other fruit trees. Japanese beetles attacked my raspberries. Flea Beatles attack my eggplant. Vine borers my zucchini, cucumber Beatles…. You get the point. Are they all at different brixs? Or do they know what they like? Can I just feed the plant sugar?

Thank y’all for this, I’m 30 minutes into this but before I forget are y’all saying the lower the Brix score the less nutritional value is going to be in the food? (Based on my common sense and taste buds I can tell the difference between let’s say Krogers/publix and the farmers market or dudes selling out the back of their trucks) But then based off of other webinars I think it’s 3-7 brix is the max score any gmo fruit will be capable of. So is eating a low brix fruit idk how to word this but is it similar to eating celery where there’s no nutritional value but your body uses energy to process it?

also ants will carry aphids up the tree and put them on the tips to farm them for honeydew.

Let’s say you have a low brix, how do you increase it

I can buy into some of this, but explain if you can. I grow lush, beautiful, aromatic Basil and yet they get ravaged by Japanese Beetles at one point or another. And it seems like it's mostly on one or more plants while right next door is another perfect looking Basil that is untouched. Could this be a Brix difference even though the plants look exactly the same state of health?

If i plant a polliantor garden in between my four apple trees and peach trees will bring bad BUGS to my trees or all good BUGS

Less in calcium, pottasium excess in nitrogen..... Always susceptible to dieses

Ok Brix is a measure of plant health. I can see if a plant is healthy or sick, I dont need a tool for that. The real question is how do we increase the brix, how do we make the plant stronger ?
