Salinas Valley Agriculture

The California Chapter, American Society of Agronomy and Cooperative Extension, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources are hosting the annual Plant and Soil Conference on Tuesday, February 1 - Thursday, February 3. This will be a virtual event using zoom.

Summary:Automated weeders are capable of selectively removing weeds from the uncultivated band (3-5 inches wide) left around the seedline by standard cultivation. A camera detects the image, a computer processes the image and then activates a kill mechanism (e.g. a split blade).

We published a blog post last year stressing the need to control winter weeds and felt it necessary to issue this information again this winter as we cannot let down our guard regarding reducing host plants for impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV).

The Zoom link will be the same each week. No preregistration required. Meeting link: https://ucanr.zoom.us/j/97511217168?pwd=ZWVhVXorcFEzRHUwQ0Q0L1lqaHNWdz09 *The presentation (not the Q and A discussion) will be recorded and made available.
