Contact info at bottom of page.
The workshop will feature presentations by various experts and
researchers focusing on best irrigation and nutrient management
practices tailored specifically for young orchards in the San Joaquin
Valley. Attendees will gain insights into the irrigation and nutrient
needs of young orchards that are different from those applicable to
mature orchards and learn strategies for adjusting these practices as
orchards mature. This knowledge aims to ensure healthier tree
development, better resource utilization, and more resilient orchards
in the face of climate change. Growers, CCAs, and other agricultural
professionals are encouraged to attend. Workshop attendees can
request one-on-one assistance from a farm advisor.
