Another great windsurfing video will be use as a lead in to the main program. Watch for small reddish mites, often near the base of the plants. They are more likely to be seen in older fields, but can affect seedling fields as well.
Mites are most visible and active on overcast or cloudy days.
In addition, we will review ongoing research on white rot in central Oregon and California. Tentatively, the control area order will be reviewed during the morning, and the research discussed following this, with the meeting concluding by around 2 p.m. At this time, we are uncertain of the location of the meeting, which may depend on how many local growers and field persons wish to attend. The full agenda has not been formalized at this time, and this notice is primarily for you to get the date on your calendar if you might be interested in attending. For full details, the ODA will eventually send a notice to the central Oregon garlic and onion growers on its current mailing list.
