A Freeze Watch is in effect in the San Joaquin Valley this week, from February 22 - 25, low temperatures are forecast between 25º - 32ºF. The extremely dry conditions, since January,  worsen the risk of freeze damage to this year’s crop. Due to the timing of their bloom stages, Almonds, Stone Fruit and Cherries are at risk for freeze damage. This is not the time to take chances or unnecessary risks!

Your Nutrient Management Plan plays a key role in how well plants and plant parts are able to manage stress events. I discuss how this tool can complement your freeze protection plans in the SoilMatters Radio report available to listen and download below
