The California Plant and Soil Conference will be held in Fresno CA at the DoubleTree Hotel and Convention Center on February 4-5, 2020. This is a very comprehensive conference with talks from speakers invited from industry, government agencies, and universities.

Please join us on 21 January 2020 at the UC Davis Conference Center for a full-day of lectures and wine tasting.

This year we will cover a wide range of topics related to water and nutrient management, including food safety, pesticide toxicity, organic nitrogen management, drip germination, weather-based irrigation scheduling, as well as ground water management in the Salinas Valley.
