DESCRIPTION
The workshop will feature presentations by various experts and researchers focusing on best irrigation and nutrient management practices tailored specifically for young orchard 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 orchard 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.
