SJC and Delta Field Crops

In a previous blog post, I introduced a project about using nitrogen (N) rich reference zones in wheat. The goal of the project is to show how N-rich reference zones can be used to guide N fertilization in small grains, to increase crop productivity and N use efficiency.

UC Cooperative Extension and UC Davis will host a Healthy Soils Program Workshop on compost. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 3rd from 9:00am to 12:30pm. The meeting will take place at Rominger Brothers Farm (28800 Co Rd 29, Winters, CA).

Results for the 2021 UCCE Delta field corn variety trial are now available. This annual trial takes place on Tyler Island. The trial was planted on April 20th and included sixteen varieties submitted by seed companies and the cooperating grower.

Due to the anticipated rain this weekend, we are postponing the Compost Workshop, previously scheduled for October 26th, until a later date. I will make another announcement when we have rescheduled the event. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I am pleased to announce the following two meetings: 1. UC Cooperative Extension and UC Davis will host a Healthy Soils Program Workshop on compost. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 26th from 9:00am to 12:30pm (BBQ lunch provided).
