Introduction

Michelle Le Strange, Farm Advisor, Tulare & Kings Counties

A goal of UC Cooperative Extension is to assist industry to improve production efficiency and product quality. This newsletter was compiled to provide useful reference information to the processing tomato industry. Some topics offer timeless information, while others are season specific. Though it may be too late to implement some practices this year, it may be time to think about changes for next season. If you have specific questions, please call your local Farm Advisor.

Weather and climate become more critical as the fall season approaches. A summary of ET and rainfall from selected CIMIS weather stations is provided for comparison. For more information from the weather station nearest your fields visit www.cimis.water.ca.gov.
