There can still be health hazards after a wildfire ends.
✅ If you evacuated, don’t return home until authorities say it’s safe.
✅ Be careful around damaged buildings and structures.
✅ Take steps to protect yourself against ash when you clean up.

Look! Houston Wilson @treecrops is on the @latimes front page. @nohaggerty featured @ucanr almond pest research by Houston, @Ag_Climate & David Haviland on navel orangeworm mating disruption
A new study found that the impact of nearby pesticide use on cancer incidence “may rival that of smoking.”
Almond farmers and researchers are exploring some almost sci-fi new ways to get rid of pests:

ALT TOP: Both carpophilus beetle adults and larvae feed on the kernel and cause damage characterized by fine powdery frass and nutmeat, a white-creamy color with some webbing. Often, large numbers (more than 10) of adult and larvae are found per nut. BOTTOM: Navel orangeworm larvae cause damage characterized by thicker frass and silky webbing entangled with a darker, brownish appearance. Only larvae are present at harvest, usually 1 to 3 larvae per nut. Photos by UCCE Stanislaus IPM team

The latest issue of the @Cal_Ag Journal is out.
New research shows that prescribed burns in young forests can mitigate wildfires’ impacts, and pre-fire treatments as part of a pyro silviculture regime can facilitate prescribed burning in young stands.
