Grant Johnson, UCCE urban ag tech advisor UCCE LA & @UCSouthCoast, is researching the viability of a solar voltaic shade screen. This structure, 1 of 2 in the world, is ideal for growers who need shade & want to harness renewable energy to power their operation at the same time.

👇 I see this in a different way. The amazing thing about grapevines (& plants in general) is how efficient their resource recycling is. For example, senescence recycles 80% of the nitrogen and 50% of the carbon before leaves fall to the ground. #viticulture #wine

Time to pump some deep work tunes. 🤘🤘🤘😂

👇Their really needs to be a larger discussion about the use of gene-edited vines in winegrowing. Huge potential to decrease environmental impacts, improve worker health, and increase sustainability. #viticulture #wine mycrispr.blog/2024/09/30/cri…

Older, woody roots give above-ground shoots the nutrition to take off, but “young roots are where the action is,” says viticulturist Stan Grant. They take up water and nutrients and synthesize hormones to power vine growth and development. #graperesearch tinyurl.com/3wmvyj7n

My Dad’s place is on the Atlantic side of Milton’s path in Florida so I take these things very seriously. BUT it is time once again to share this gem from The Onion. Sadly there is just way too much truth in this satire. 😂😂😬😞😢

👇I really dig this sentiment but in my experience at least that graph looks way too optimistic. I have found it to be more like the curve below. 😂😂😂

📢Oct. 28th Dr. Dr. William Hammond, Assistant Professor Agronomy at UF will be a speaker at the 2024 #FranceScienceSummit organized by Embassy of France in the U.S.. His talk is an example of a successful French-American INRAE_International collaboration. 📅10/28/2024, Info & RSVP 👉 france-science.com/event/france-s…

I'm pleased to share a short article on grapevine varietal susceptibility to esca, integrating results from two independent studies (a common garden and a national observatory)! IVES Technical Reviews ives-technicalreviews.eu/article/view/8…

In my happy place. 😊😊🤘💕❤️

After years of observation in the INRAE VitAdapt vineyard in Bordeaux and at France’s national trunk disease observatory, there’s evidence that susceptibility to esca varies by grape variety. Pinot Noir is among the least susceptible. #graperesearch tinyurl.com/yckf3e42

Worth reading the full article!

👇3-year crop modeling PostDoc opportunity working with us inrae_egfv & ISVV - Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin. More info via the link below. The PostDoc will use modeling to explore the impacts of climate change adaptation measures on vineyards. PLEASE SHARE!🙏 #viticulture #wine bit.ly/4hzirHO

Way beyond Cali! Larry was also the kindest member of my PhD orals committee. 😂🙏

Always a great conference. Check it out: giesco2025.com
