Colorado Grape Grower Monthly Conference Call for July

The first Monday of each month, beginning at 9 AM, the CWIDB hosts an informal conference call for all grape-growers in Colorado.  We will be joined by an expert, specialist or speaker to address a timely topic for 20-30 minutes, followed by Q&A and grower discussion of current issues and questions.

On Monday, July 2, 9:00 AM, Dr. Joan Davenport, professor of soil science at Washington State University, will join our call to talk about nutrient management and soil nutrients, particularly with reference to reduced water availability and high soil pH and sodium. Dr. Davenport’s research focuses on an array of projects designed to understand soil variability and how to manage water and nutrients for economically sustainable, environmentally friendly agricultural production.  Click on the link above to read more about Dr. Davenport and her research.
