An unusually wet start to the bloom period gave way to highly favourable conditions that reversed February’s decline, leading DASI to its second-highest level in 10 years by the conclusion of bloom.
Abnormally high temperatures throughout the state since bloom have tipped into early heat stress, driving DASI off its highs. The effect was particularly marked in the Southern San Joaquin Valley.
