University of California Cooperative Extension is offering a one-day precision ag workshop July 14, at UC Davis, to discuss current uses and techniques for site-specific management for California’s agriculture.
The workshop will cover topics orchard fertility and yield variability, practical uses of remote sensing, electrical conductivity and yield monitors, and site-specific weed control. In addition to applied research findings the workshop will have an overview of concepts and techniques used to identify and manage within-field variability.
