Fava bean Nitrogen Fixation Trial Field Day
Friday, March 22 - 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Lundberg Family Farm, 5311 Midway, Richvale, CA
In California, fava bean is largely grown as winter cover crop to protect the soil and add to soil nitrogen. In this field day event, several speakers will talk about the benefits and selection of cover crops for different cropping systems. We will also demonstrate a field trial that aims to identify fava bean genotypes with enhanced nitrogen fixation.
All welcome. There is no registration, but we would appreciate an email to Hossein Zakeri: hzakeri@csuchico.edu for headcount. Fore more information contact: Lundberg Farm @ 530-538-3500
