Virtual Walnut Series Feb. 16-17

UC cooperative extension virtual Walnut series coming up February 16th and 17th. Kari Arnold is a UC Cooperative Extension Area 0rchard and Vineyard Systems Farm Advisor in Stanislaus County.

“It's going to be February 16th and 17th. It's online at virtual because of COVID-19 we can't be in person. It's going to be 9a to Noon each day. If you're interested in the link and just shoot me an email at klarnold@ucanr.edu,” Arnold said.

“It's going to cover diseases. We're going to talk about rootstocks, pests, varieties, just the whole gamut. We tried to cover a lot of ground in six hours between the two days. The second day will be pests and diseases. So, there will be DPR, CCA, and CURES nitrogen credits,“ noted Arnold.

The California Walnut Board and Commission is sponsoring the event. “They will be covering all the associated costs. It's a big collaborative event between USDA, University of California Cooperative Extension, University of California, Davis, and Riverside, and just a whole bunch of us getting together and talking about walnuts,” she said.
