Kearney, Lindcove and UCCE at the World Ag Expo

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 queries, for a chance to examine insects or fungi under the microscope or just to grab a Tango mandarin orange from UC Lindcove. On Wednesday, Citrus IPM advisor Sandipa Gautam was there to answer questions about Asian citrus psyllid other pest management concerns from home growers.
