***************** Survey of Your Understanding of Crop Biostimulant Crop biostimulants are not biopesticides (suppressing pest and disease); instead, they are "substances or microorganisms that, when applied to seeds, plants, or the rhizophere, stimulates natural processes to enhance or benefit nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, or crop quality and yield." Common active ingredients of biostimulants, which are distinct from those in biocontrol agents, comprise growth promoting bacteria and/or fungi, mycorrhizae, seawood extract, humic substances, kelp, or plant hormones. To better help vegetable growers with the use of crop biostimulant and implement our future research and extension programs, please spend a few minutes filling out the anonymous survey http://cestanislaus.ucanr.edu/Agriculture/Vegetable_Crops/Biostimulant_Survey/ to share your experience, concerns, confusion, and hopes about an efficient use of these biologics. Your response will be used for research and education | 11/16/20 | |||

UCCE-UC IPM Biologics Educational Webinar Series | UC Cooperative Extension Farm Advisors Rachael Long and Zheng Wang are collaborating with UC IPM to host a series of four 1-hour educational webinars on the use of biostimulants and plant growth regulators in crop production, with a focus on vegetable and field crops. Both types of biologics are increasingly used in regulating crop growth and development but also bring discussions on their definition, regulation, and efficacy in field situations. The free webinars are designed for the agricultural community including growers, researchers, crop consultants, pest control advisors, and others in the industry. Please check the attached flyer for details. Webinars will be held Nov. 10th, Nov. 18th, Dec. 3rd, and Dec. 9th. To register, follow the link (https://ucanr.edu/sites/ucexpertstalk/) and click on each webinar topic for the registration page.
