SJC and Delta Field Crops

Lately, I have been corresponding with growers and consultants about slow spring growth in their alfalfa fields. There are several reasons why growth may resume slowly this spring. I describe them below and discuss some way we may be able to manage for them. Wet winter and spring.

Here are a few announcements from UC Cooperative Extension. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. 1.

Nitrogen (N) is part of a balanced, natural cycle in the environment among the atmosphere, soil, plants, animals, and water. Nitrogen is the most important element needed by crops, and we often add nitrogen fertilizer to optimize crop productivity.

On Thursday, January 17th, I hosted the annual SJC and Delta Field Crops Meeting in Stockton, CA. I want to thank everyone who attended and provided feedback on the meeting.

Happy New Year! We are entering "meeting season". The new year brings several opportunities for continuing education, including UC Cooperative Extension grower meetings and the California Plant and Soil Conference. Please see below for more information. 1.
