About the Event
Improving soil health and crop performance:
Uncovering the benefits of biofumigation, soil amendments and thermal treatments
This event brings together researchers, growers, and industry representatives focused on sustainable soil pest and disease management. Discussions will highlight progress in areas such as biofumigation, anaerobic soil disinfestation and bio-solarization, green manures, cover crops, and steam application technology. The meeting offers a unique opportunity for a diverse, global group of professionals to share their work, exchange insights, and build connections.
The symposium will feature two and a half days of sessions and focused meetings, followed by a one-day tour showcasing local agricultural production and research in Ventura County.
The selected venue in Ventura has hosted previous symposia and offers a convenient location for a variety of nearby activities. The coastal city setting is within walking distance of the historic downtown and ocean promenade, with access to numerous restaurants, wineries, breweries, and parks. Ventura is also known as a gateway to the Channel Islands National Park (with daily boat service from Ventura Harbor), as well as opportunities for whale watching, surfing, fishing, biking, and other outdoor activities.
