Bernardita Sallato joins us to talk about the tools and techniques used to monitor plant nutrition. Whether plants can absorb available nutrition is an interesting topic as we reflect on some unusual tree growth from early this season.  Bernardita is a Regional Tree Fruit Extension Specialist at Washington State University, located in the middle of the Yakima valley – one of the most productive regions for apple and sweet cherry production. She is originally from Chile, where she obtained a degree in Horticulture and Plant Physiology, and now she has specialized in soils and plant nutrition. Producer: Perennia Food and Agriculture Inc.
