About this Website
The Northwest Berry & Grape Information Network is the most comprehensive information and communications resource for berry and grape production practices, research, and marketing. Communications features include regional and international e-mail discussion groups and on-line discussion forums focused on fruit growing. The primary intended audience is commercial growers, marketers, crop consultants, pest management advisors, educators, and researchers in the Pacific Northwest. The information on this website originates from the four cooperating institutions and links to selected, critically reviewed websites from credible sources. Developed in 1995 by Edward Hellman, a former faculty of Department of Horticulture at Oregon State University, it was expanded into a regional cooperative program in 1998. The website is produced by Oregon State University, Washington State University, the University of Idaho, and the USDA Agricultural Research Service. An editorial board, consisting of the Editor and Associate Editors from each institution, directs production and management of the website. Production of the website is supported by an annual grant from the Northwest Center for Small Fruits Research.Editorial Board
