Re: [nafex] Problem Identification Resources

Tom,
Have you tried using the Internet search engines for just agricultural
information?  USAIN's Access to Extension and Experiment Station
Publications,
http://usain.org/extensionpubs.html
has many EXCELLENT search engines strictly for finding extension information.  I have the best luck finding fruit information using E-Answers and Plant Facts Database.

As to tree fruit problems, there are many resources available.  Here is just a short list of sites - many more are compiled at:  http://library.smsu.edu/paulevans/frtlinks.htm
 
AgNIC's compilation of Tree Fruits sites, specifically Apples 
Apple IPM Program from the University of Maine
Malus Core Project Images
The UMass Fruit Advisor
Michigan Apple Commission 
New England Apple Pest Management Guide, 2000-2001
New York Apple Association
Pennsylvania Tree Fruit Production Guide - from Penn State Cooperative Extension 
Propagating Deciduous Fruit Plants Common to Georgia - Describes techniques for propagating apples, figs, peaches, pears and other fruits. An excellent treatise on grafting techniques.
U.S. Apple Association (USApple) 
WSU-TFREC is the research and extension center of Washington State University dedicated to the tree fruit sciences. 

I hope this helps,
