Manage your orchard with insecticide and fungicide options that deliver excellent efficacy, greater efficiency and increased marketable yield potential.
Phytophthora (Fall/Winter) Everyone scouts for Phytophthora root rot in the spring, but this disease can sneak up on an almond grower at any time, including harvest and post-harvest.
Brown Rot Blossom Blight Blossom blight can kill an entire stem. To get ahead, the first recommended fungicide application should be just before bloom in the pink bud stage.
Anthracnose (Fall/Winter) Anthracnose can overwinter in dead wood or mummified fruit that remain attached to the tree. Here’s what to look for to maintain orchard health this fall and winter.
Untreated Preventive applications are the best way to protect your orchards from disease. Once disease is visible in your orchard, it is often too late to prevent excessive damage.
Healthy Nuts From the Inside Out Proactive planning and early-season fungicide applications are essential to minimize disease impact and protect yield potential.
Late-Season Insects Some of the most common late-season insects almond growers face are navel orangeworm (NOW), spider mites and plant bugs. Check out management tips to improve marketability potential.
Codling Moth Codling moth can be a year-round nuisance in walnuts. Monitor for third and even fourth generations this fall that will move into tree trunks and debris to overwinter.
Mites (All Season) Mites can reduce vegetative growth and compromise yield. See how to find an effective and cost-efficient program that works when both mites and NOW are both present.
California tree nuts face differing pest pressures each year, and the ones taking the biggest bite from your yield must take priority. A planned approach is essential to control pests and combat resistance.
A customized program approach to season-long insect control ensures high-quality nuts with greater yield potential. You are the expert in your orchard – you know what optimal timing and ideal formulation looks like for the pests in your crop.
Preventive Protection for Your Tree Nuts Miravis® Duo fungicide is a revolutionary broad-spectrum, preventative treatment for tree nuts. Formulated as a suspension concentrate, this fungicide combines active ingredients ADEPIDYN® technology and difenoconazole for long-lasting disease control, even under high disease stress and unpredictable weather.
Activating the natural defense systems in several crops, Actigard® 50WG helps the plant to protect itself against attacks from diseases. Actigard is highly effective at low use rates and is an excellent fit in an Integrated Pest Management program.
Maintaining tree health helps minimize tree stress, leading to healthier roots and ultimately higher yield potential. Orondis® fungicide offers best-in-class protection against soilborne oomycete diseases, like Phytophthora root rot and other yield-robbing diseases.
Dual-action, broad-spectrum insect control The combination of chlorantraniliprole (CTPR) and lambda-cyhalothrin (LCY) in Besiege® provides protection against the most difficult lepidopteran, sucking and chewing insect pests with rapid knockdown and long-lasting residual control.
A broad-spectrum, foliar insecticide that hits the mark With two powerful modes of action, cyantraniliprole and abamectin, Minecto® Pro delivers lasting residual control on navel orangeworm, spider mites, red mites, codling moth and peach twig borer for overlapping control of multiple pest populations.
Rapid absorption and excellent flexibility for any operation Emamectin benzoate, the active ingredient in Proclaim®, targets damaging lepidopteran pests like codling moth, peach twig borer, navel orangeworm, and leafrollers. Proclaim insecticide offers a unique mode of action, making it an ideal rotational partner with other insecticides, and is easy on beneficials.
Tree nut growers depend on trusted Pest Control Advisors to help fight back against navel orangeworm (NOW) and maximize their potential yield.
