Almond Board “In-the-Orchard” Weed Identification and Management

3/9/2016

The next series of Almond Board workshops will be held in multiple locations in May. These workshops, conducted in partnership with the University of California, will be in-the-orchard educational events for almond growers and pest control advisers focused on weed identification and management. These workshops present a unique opportunity for attendees to refine their weed identification skills, match the latest management strategies and tactics with species present and resistance concerns, and review cost-effective practices for monitoring and record-keeping.

Identical morning workshops will take place in almond orchards in the northern, central and southern regions of the Central Valley. Weed specialists with the University of California will conduct hands-on learning exercises and spend considerable time exchanging information about practical weed-related experiences and challenges with attendees. In addition, Almond Board staff and consultants will share updates about efforts and tools that add value to grower operations and the greater California Almond community.

More information about these workshops will be provided soon. Do not miss this chance to improve your weed management and improve your economic bottom line.
