Hello! And thank you for participating in this survey. This should not take more than 5 to 10 minutes. Results will provide Cornell, Oregon State and UC Davis with general information about weed control practices already being used in tree, vine and berry crops...as well as interest in novel technologies to manage weedy vegetation.

Are you a tree fruit (i.e. apples, pears, cherries, peaches, etc…), tree nut (i.e. almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc…), berries (i.e. blueberries, caneberries, etc…) or grape (i.e. wine, table, juice, raisin) grower in the United States?

Yes
No

Where do you produce your crops? (CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY)

Oregon, Washington, Idaho
California
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia
Hawaii
Other US state

How many TOTAL acres of tree fruits, berries, tree nuts or grapes do you farm or manage?

Do you manage any USDA certified organic or organic transitioning acres?

Yes
Maybe
No

How do you manage weeds in your tree fruit, berry, tree nut or grape crops (CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY)

If you answered 'other' to the previous question, please explain.

Are you interested in any of the following technologies for weed control? (CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY)

Electrical weeders
Vision-guided sprayers or cultivators
Steam or pressurized water weeders
Drones and artificial intelligence
Organic or biological herbicides
Novel mulches
Other

If you answered 'other' to the previous question, please explain.
