<div

are pleased to
announce the
next VASCM
meeting:
this
Thursday, Aug.
15, 2-4:30,
with Dr.
Franklin Gaudi
talking about
Irrigation
Distribution
Uniformity
specifically
in vineyards.
Our hilly
terrain
presents a
challenge to
uniform
irrigation
that can
result in
uneven vine
health and
vigor. The
presentation
will include:
<br>
<br>
- why
uniformity is
important
(even
fertigation,
over/under
watering,
uniform vine
vigor, etc.)<br>
- irrigation
effectiveness
is affected by
terrain<br>
- testing for
uniformity,
testing for
sediments<br>
- pressure and
flow,
assessing
pumps,
pressure-compensating
emitters<br>
- flushing
your
irrigation
system and
maintenance<br>
- SGMA
(Sustainable
Groundwater
Management
Act) and does
it apply to
us?<br>
<br>
Franklin Gaudi
is currently
VP of Design
for <a
href="https://laurel-ag.com/" moz-do-not-send="true">Laurel Ag &
Water,</a> and
previously was
Assistant
Professor
specializing
in irrigation
management at
California
Polytechnic
State
University,
San Luis
Obispo. <br>
