Eithan Pozas Rodriguez (@eithanpozas) Plant Pathology PhD student at UW-Madison, presents his research on the impacts of shade and fungicides on cranberry fruit rot development at the 2025 Wisconsin Cranberry School annual meeting.

Jenny Bolivar-Medina, Scientist in Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences at UW-Madison, presents her research on the effect of heat stress on cranberry fruit rot development at the 2025 Wisconsin Cranberry School annual meeting.

#cranberry fruit collections today with @eithanpozas We are already observing significant fruit rot in our trial beds @SAME_Cran

Fall in the UW Fruit Crops Pathology lab usually means 2 things: we had a great time during our annual corn maze trip (the competition was fierce this year!) and there are plenty of rotted fruits to process! @WIFruitNews @SAME_Cran

Made possible by funding from the USDA NIFA Specialty Crops Research Initiative, the SAME project team is dedicated to conducting multidisciplinary research on cranberry fruit rot and translating our findings to benefit cranberry stakeholders like you. sameproject.wisc.edu/2024/04/17/wel…

Cranberry School day 1! Wisconsin #cranberry growers get their questions answered by experts, Dr. Amaya Atucha and Dr. Juan Zalapa! @WIFruitNews @VacciniumCAP @SAME_Cran

At the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US, Dr @LeslieHolland_ is a #plant #pathologist working to understand fruit rot and how we can better protect cranberries (@SAME_Cran). futurumcareers.com/how-can-we-imp…

It’s a wrap on cranberry field season!! We harvested over 150 plots. Thankful for our new vacuum harvester to help speed up the job! Now it’s time to get these samples processed… fingers crossed for fruit rot! @SAME_Cran @eithanpozas

Will shading help reduce heat stress on developing cranberries and mitigate #cranberry fruit rot development???@SAME_Cran @eithanpozas

@UWMadisonExt Wisconsin Idea Intern, Olivia, has been a wonderful addition to our team this summer! This week she helped us collect cranberries for @eithanpozas research on fruit rot. We lucked out with great weather and some sandhill crane sightings. @SAME_Cran

Setting up a new field trial at the Wisconsin #cranberry research station with PhD student, Eithan, to investigate the interactions between fungicides and solar shading on cranberry fruit rot development. More to come this summer! @SAME_Cran
