Registration is open for the 2023 Biosolutions Conference and Expo, which takes place Feb. 23-24 in Reno, NV. Along with a full educational agenda that includes grower-to-grower advice, new product and application technology updates, and best practices tips, attendees can also take advantage of two unique educational opportunities before and after the conference.
A pre-conference experience on Feb. 22 will include a tour of the University of Nevada Reno’s Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station. Tourgoers will visit two labs, the Santos Lab and the Kosmas Lab, both of which are doing research into biological controls for vegetable crops.
The group will then walk next door to the Desert Farming Initiative (DFI) hoop houses and meet with Jill Moe, Director of DFI. Moe will discuss DFI’s scope of work focused on Climate Smart Farming and food sovereignty. The day concludes with a visit to Frey Ranch and Distillery, where the Frey team will provide a tour of the distillery along with a whiskey tasting and farm tour.
Following the conclusion of the conference, there will also bet two exclusive learning opportunities:
- Building Your Own Insectary: Have you been thinking about building an in-house insectary? There are many challenges with rearing beneficials, as it is a complex system. This workshop will help you evaluate whether your operation is suited for such an undertaking. Also covered will be where to find the limited available information, costs on getting started, and other resources. You will hear from growing operations that have moved in this direction, and their challenges, successes, and failures.
- Unlocking Your Soil’s Potential: Soil health comes down to understanding what you have in your fields, what you need to do to access those resources, and timing. Noel Garcia, Certified Crop Adviser (CCA), Senior Consultant and COO of TPS Lab, will demystify the process and walk you through how macro- and micro-nutrients and organic matter impacts your crop’s yield and quality.
Both the pre- and post-conference activities require separate advanced registration. To learn more about each of them, as well as other conference details, go to BiosolutionsConference.com.
