Yuba City north of Sacramento CA is known for the hundreds of feral chickens that run around town and crow 24-7. The YC Chamber of Commerce needs to start a new promotion: Yuba City, where there's a chicken in every pot

Alternaria leaf spot on broccoli. The disease can cause a leaf spot & head rot of Crucifers. Leaf symptoms include round, tan spots w/t concentric rings often with a yellow halo & cracks in the middle. Use crop rotation, sanitation & fungicides for control #Fungi #Disease

Little leaf syndrome of tomato, cool stuff.

@2BJust First identified here in field sources

@flanders_tim Apparently it’s affecting some productions now from what I’ve heard. Did it all start in the nursery then spread to the production? Or did some of the field infection start from inoculation from field sources?

Choanephora infection in pepper transplants. This disease has definitely changed its habits in the last year.

@GaFarmer80 Don't know yet. A lot of that will depend on how well they over winter here.

@flanders_tim Do you think they’ll be an issue in melons? Requiring treatment?
