The World Ag Expo was definitely in full swing in 2024 with beautiful weather outdoors and steady foot traffic from large crowds visiting exhibitor booths indoors and in the open air. Kearney, Lindcove and UCCE Tulare hosted a booth in Pavillion A adjacent to the UCCE Master Gardeners. Curious pedestrians of all ages stopped by with their queries, paused for a chance to examine insects and fungi under the microscope or simply reached for a UC Lindcove Tango mandarin orange as they strolled on by. On Wednesday, Citrus IPM advisor Sandipa Gautam was there to answer questions about Asian citrus psyllid other pest management concerns from home growers. UCCE Tulare farm advisors were also in the booth to answer questions from an ag-inquisitive parade.
