The tenth annual meeting of the NNGA was held in Rochester, New York, in August of 1919. The meeting was a great success, with over 100 members in attendance. The proceedings of the meeting were published in a book, which is now available for Free Download from the NNGA.

The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in nut growing. It includes a variety of topics related to the cultivation and propagation of nuts, including new varieties, disease and pest control, and the latest research findings.

New Varieties

One of the most exciting topics discussed at the tenth annual meeting of the NNGA was the of new nut varieties. Several members presented their own new varieties, and there was a great deal of discussion about the potential of these new varieties for commercial production.

Some of the most promising new varieties discussed at the meeting included:

* The 'Rochester' hazelnut, a large, thin-shelled nut with a sweet flavor. * The 'Ohio' chestnut, a blight-resistant chestnut with a large, sweet nut. * The 'Carpathian' walnut, a hardy walnut with a large, flavorful nut.

These new varieties represent a significant step forward in the development of nut growing in the northern United States and Canada. They offer growers new options for commercial production, and they may also help to increase the popularity of nut growing among home gardeners.

Disease and Pest Control

Disease and pest control is a major challenge for nut growers. At the tenth annual meeting of the NNGA, several members shared their experiences with different disease and pest control methods.

One of the most common diseases of nut trees is blight. Blight is caused by a fungus that can kill young trees and damage the nuts of mature trees. There are a number of different ways to control blight, including:

* Using resistant varieties * Pruning infected branches * Applying fungicides

Another common problem for nut growers is pests. Pests can damage nuts and leaves, and they can also transmit diseases. There are a number of different ways to control pests, including:

* Using pesticides * Using traps * Using biological control

The best way to control disease and pests is to use a combination of different methods. By working together, growers can reduce the risk of damage to their trees and nuts.

Latest Research Findings

The tenth annual meeting of the NNGA also featured a number of presentations on the latest research findings on nut growing. These presentations covered a wide range of topics, including:

* The use of new technologies to improve nut production * The development of new nut varieties * The control of disease and pests

The research findings presented at the meeting provide valuable information for nut growers. This information can help growers to improve their production methods and to increase the profitability of their operations.

The tenth annual meeting of the Northern Nut Growers Association was a great success. The meeting brought together a group of dedicated nut growers who shared their knowledge and experience, and who learned about the latest research findings on nut growing. The proceedings of the meeting are now available for Free Download from the NNGA, and they are a valuable resource for anyone interested in nut growing.
