Workgroup Information Pistachio |
|
| Summary | Meets biannually to present and evaluate new and ongoing research proposals, plan annual Statewide Pistachio Day and Farm Advisor Training, and discuss developing research and educational needs. Responsible for planning and executing a short course and production manual revision every five years. This was accomplished in 2005. We plan to hold the next short course in 2008, and modify the manual to a UC peer reviewed, online version at that time. |
