So that growers, PCA's and other agricultural people might have a bit more access to UC and UCCE scientists, entomology Advisor Shimat Joseph is sponsoring a breakfast meeting at my auditorium at 1432 Freedom Blvd in Watsonville on March 10.  We have both Plant Pathology Farm Advisor Steven Koike speaking about diseases, followed by our special guest entomologist and IPM Advisor Pete Goodell out of the Kearney research station in the Central Valley (he has a enormous amount of experience with lygus).

Point is to have a good discussion between people involved in strawberry production and UC scientists, along with having a great breakfast of course.  Come by if you have the time - starts at 630 am and will be wrapped up by 8.
