SJC and Delta Field Crops

For the last two years, we have trialed wheat and triticale varieties in the Delta, and we thank the folks on Staten Island for hosting the trial. The Delta location is one in a statewide network of UCCE small grains variety trials.

I visited a lima bean field in the Delta at the beginning of June. The beans were showing what appeared to be dampening off symptoms (Figure 1), and dying plants were leaving large gaps down the rows. The problem was pretty widespread throughout the field.

UC Cooperative Extension will host a Rice Production Workshop on August 7, 2018 from 8:30am to 3:00pm at Lundberg Family Farms (5311 Midway, Richvale, CA 95974). The Rice Production Workshop is an in-depth workshop that covers the principles and practices of rice production.
