The #heat stress and #sunburn on #grapevne. So what can you do? #Irrigation and #sunblock should be applied before the heat. It depends on #cost and #availability. Long-term strategy requires #rootstock and #variety for #heat and #drought resistance. @grapetweets @ucanr

From global income losses to agricultural impacts to supply chain disruptions, El Niño is about more than just rainfall. And the latest forecast is a doozy.
