Tehama Water Rich In Nitrate For Fertilizer Use
Tehama County wells show nitrate levels high enough to be useful as fertilizer. Nitrate in soil water is readily taken up by plants but can be leached if soils are poorly aerated. Monitor utilization by testing soil nitrate after irrigation and before the next watering, reporting in ppm or pounds per acre foot with a 2.7 multiplier to convert ppm nitrate nitrogen.

Aphid Threat to Grain Sorghum Noted by Farm Advisor
Farm advisor Bill Richardson warns grain sorghum growers to monitor fields for the greenbug aphid, more destructive than other aphids. The light green insect with a dark dorsal stripe, about one sixteenth inch, often lacks wings but wind can produce wings in up to 40 percent of cases. It feeds on bottom leaves, causes reddish purple spots, and exudes honeydew that can wet leaves and ground. Other aphids exist but are less damaging and lack the distinctive stripe of the greenbug.
