Save the Date... Research Field Day in October

Sep 20, 2012

On October 17, 2012 UC Ventura County Cooperative Extension (UCCE) in conjunction with the UC Hansen Agricultural Center will be conducting a field day at the Hansen Agricultural Center in Santa Paula. 

Here attendees will be able to visit stations staffed by UCCE experts who will speak on a variety of topics of interest to growers and horticulturists.  The structure is informal and will allow for easy interchange between speakers and attendees.

Each station will feature informational talks on the following subjects:

  • Effect of compost on long term disease control and fertility of soils in peppers
  • Cultural management of Prime Ark 45 Blackberry
  • Differential plant response of salts in summer strawberry
  • Subtropical fruit collection
  • Herbicide efficacy and safety in drip-irrigated celery
  • Water quality and sensors
  • Effect of pruning in landscape roses

Continous education credits from the Department of Pesticide Regulation and VCAILG credits have been requested.
