  • Learn how soil health influences irrigation efficiency and vineyard resilience. This hands-on workshop will cover soil sampling, irrigation management and how improving soil health can increase water retention and carbon sequestration. We’ll focus on irrigation management strategies, using technology to optimize irrigation timing and water use, and conducting distribution uniformity tests to improve system efficiency. This event is free and lunch is provided
  • (Español) Aprenda como la salud del suelo influye la eficiencia de irrigación y la resiliencia de los viñedos. Este taller práctico cubrira como hacer muestras del suelo, gestión de riego y como al mejorar la salud de la tierra podemos mejorar la retención de agua y sequestración de carbono. Nos enfocaremos en estrategias de gestión de riego, usando la tecnologia para optimizar el tiempo de riego y el uso de agua, también conduciremos examenes de distribución de uniformidad para mejorar la eficiencia de nuestros sistemas. Este evento es gratuito y el almuerzo es incluido.
