In this issue, our articles provide management guidelines and updates relevant to the nursery industry. Featured articles cover water management topics, including cost analyses for building a water recycling system, the pathogen risk associated with implementing these systems in nursery production, and common irrigation mistakes, and ways to prevent them in nurseries. In the Science to the grower section, we cover valuable insights on pH management, and its effect on plant nutrition. This issue also marks the first of five articles dedicated to soil and water pH. Additionally, the regional advisor report highlights the current treat of the invasive shothole borers and strategies to manage them.  Lastly, in the Campus and research updates section, we shared the topics of the upcoming Ask the Advisor series, a recap of the most recent UCNFA conference and its presentations, as well as new research projects on characterizing Botrytis populations in California’s nursery industry, and extension resources offering free training on irrigation management.
