Venue: 2400 East Woodson Rd, Acampo, CA 95220 (look for grower meeting signs)
Cost: FREE, all are welcome
Who Should Attend: Everyone – viruses affect our entire industry!
Description: We’ll start off by sharing leafroll virus management strategies we’ve learned from researchers around the world and local experiences. LangeTwins will discuss how they train a virus scouting crew & how they map and manage for leafroll virus.
Then, we’ll all head out to the vines with the Lodi Grapevine Virus Research Focus Group to check out virus symptoms on previously-tested vines, look for beneficial insects, learn how to properly take virus testing samples, and look for virus vectors (with Dr. Cindy Preto who can teach us about the presumed red blotch vector – the threecornered alfalfa hopper). Much like the Mealybug ID Field Day last summer, we will have microscopes available and it will be fun to see what other insects we find as we search the vines (we’ll also take this opportunity to look for vine mealybugs, parasitized mealybugs, and Cryptolaemus beetles).
This meeting is partially funded by the American Vineyard Foundation and the CDFA PD/GWSS Board – thank you!
RSVP by 10/16 (if possible): Please email lwwc@lodiwine.com or call 209.367.4727 and ask for Christina.

CAPTURING WATER FOR THE FUTURE WORKSHOP
2018-11-05 09:00 - 12:00 | Mondavi Woodbridge Winery – Old Barrel Room, 5950 E Woodbridge Rd, Acampo, CA 95220
Date: Monday, November 5th, 2018
Time: 9:00 am – Noon
Venue: Woodbridge Winery Old Barrel Warehouse, 5950 Woodbridge Rd E., Acampo, CA 95220
Description: With increasing demands on groundwater, and the threat of groundwater pumping restrictions, capturing and storing water for future use is essential. It is critical to utilize our landscape to increase groundwater recharge, preferably without taking land out of production to minimize economic losses that would greatly affect our agricultural communities.
Sustainable Conservation has been working with winegrape growers, researchers and water districts since 2011 to demonstrate and evaluate how farmers can divert surface water affordably and safely onto vineyards to recharge our depleted aquifers. This approach, coupled with conventional recharge strategies, can significantly increase groundwater replenishment. By maximizing recharge in wet years, farmers, communities, and the environment will be better prepared for future droughts.
The workshop will focus on how farmers, landowners and water districts can use active and fallow farmland to increase groundwater recharge while avoiding crop health problems, minimizing nutrient leaching and disruption of annual farm operations. Workshop discussion topics include:

Challenges of Water District’s with Junior Water Rights
Lodi region winegrape grower’s perspectives on groundwater recharge management
Results of 2017 Costa Vineyard recharge trial
Yield comparisons of Costa Vineyard recharge site
Adjustments to agronomic and cultural practices to successfully implement recharge on vineyards
Crop health research on winegrape recharge
Nutrient management practices for on-farm recharge

Refreshments and Workshop @
Woodbridge Winery Old Barrel Warehouse
9:00 am – 11:00
Field tour following workshop @ Al Costa Zinfandel Vineyard
