Description: Cultivating a healthy soil microbiome in vineyards


-overview of information to be covered

There is a lot of interest about beneficial soil microbes and how growers can use them to create healthy soils and crops. While there are many approaches and products on the market, there remain many unanswered questions. In this talk, I will present the most up to date information about using microbes to improve soil health and discuss strategies to help growers get the most out of, and protect, their soils into the future.
