Join the Independent Grape Growers of Paso Robles Area (IGGPRA) on Zoom with two experts to talk about the need for nitrogen and other elements in your vineyard, plus herbicides and mechanical alternatives to weed control in the vineyard.
You have suckered and shoot-thinned your growing vines. What next? Your incipient grapes are now either in bloom or about to bloom. Up to this point the vines have been using stored carbohydrates to fuel growth and grape development and now need additional nitrogen and other elements. For most growers that means adding chemical fertilizer injected through the irrigation system (chemigation). Foliars may be required later as well. Join us for our June seminar and learn from experts how to take leaf and petiole samples to identify your vineyard nutrient requirements, and when best to apply chemigation and foliar fertilizers.
You have also undoubtedly observed that you have a pretty healthy crop of weeds growing right along with your vines. Those contact killers and pre-emergents you applied months ago worked great for a while, but now the weeds are back. What are your options? Hear from an expert vineyard manager about all the available tools including herbicides and mechanical alternatives to weed control. Learn how to properly fill a spray tank and calibrate your spray output for maximum results. One hour of continuing education credit is available for this presentation.
Seminar is free for IGGPRA Members and $30.00 for Non-Members.
If you are a current Associate Member who would like to speak at one of our seminars, please let us know. We’d love to feature your company and services!
