CAFF’s Ecological Farming team has been busy the past several weeks setting up the Biologically Integrated Orchards Systems (BIOS) project at six demonstration sites located in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys. “ Why take cover crop samples? “ Why take cover crop samples?”, ”, you might ask.
Emily Ayala and Hanna Kahl introduce CAFF and the Ecological Pest Management Program. After a very wet winter, attendees enjoyed the nice weather as they gathered in the orchard to discuss a novel mower prototype, pruning, and nematode management. Attendees gather in the cover cropped orchard to watch the mower demo.
In this article, we will delve into the world of woolly aphids, exploring their behavior, lifecycle, ecological impact, specific control methods, and additional preventive measures to effectively manage and protect our green spaces. Vegetables Although less common, some vegetable crops can also be affected by woolly aphids.
Meanwhile, research and plant breeding efforts are underway to explore and expand its potential as a sustainable low-input, high-value crop that could figure into the future of small farms throughout the eastern U.S. He grows blackberries, kiwi berries, persimmons, and figs, which were his primary crop until pawpaws took the mantle.
The hard hat is a minor inconvenience for Sweetland, but is emblematic of a broader question that researchers have been studying on this farm: How can agricultural lands support both crops and solar panels without hurting the other’s bottom line? The technology is there, he said, but there are two main challenges.

The compost created from ground-up walnut prunings and cover crop mowings.

Later, his focus shifted to urban ecology. In a frequently cited 2009 paper in the journal Frontiers in Ecology , a trio of researchers identified more than 139 shade-tolerant plants that have invaded deeply shaded forests. As secretary of the Northwest Holly Growers Association, he launched an aggressive defense of his crop.
Starting in the 1970s, through her groundbreaking nutritional ecology class at Teachers College within Columbia University, and through books like The Feeding Web: Issues in Nutritional Ecology , she transformed our view of food from something enjoyed at the end of a fork to the entire system that created the mouthful.
Goldthwaite The coeditors of Good Eats , both English professors and authors, have gathered a selection of creative nonfiction essays that requires “ecological thinking and a close attention to relationships, the environment, and diversity.”
They’re well pruned. It was this devastating thing, but it made us learn a lot about wildfire and why it happens and understand that it’s actually part of California’s ecology,” he says. Fred Seavey, part of the family-owned Seavey Vineyards, has a similar philosophy about ecological stewardship.
