Vineyard Nitrogen Management Survey
The California State Water Resources Control Board has convened the Second Statewide Agricultural Expert Panel to develop science-based, data-driven recommendations on whether and how statewide nitrogen application limits and reporting requirements should be developed under the Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program.
The goal of this survey is to document current winegrape vineyard nitrogen management practices in a way that accurately reflects the diversity, complexity, and regional conditions of North Coast farming systems. Your input will help ensure that the Expert Panel’s recommendations are grounded in real-world practices, challenges, and management needs. This is an opportunity for growers to help shape how nitrogen management is understood and regulated statewide.
The survey is 22 questions and should take about 15 minutes to complete.
Participation is voluntary, all responses are anonymous, and data will only be shared in an aggregated form.
