Phytophthora Phytophthora root rot infects the tissue of a tree’s feeder roots and can severely limit the uptake of water and nutrients.
Alternaria Leaf Spot, Blossom Blight & More These diseases are common in warm climates and can cause lasting problems in the orchard, from defoliation to entire stem death.
Hull Rot Infecting tree nuts at hull split, this damaging disease can spread from year to year and affects nut quality, yield potential, harvestability and future production.
Anthracnose, Scab & Shot Hole Prevalent in the spring and summer, these diseases can severely damage leaves, nuts and overall tree health if not properly identified and controlled.
Untreated Preventive fungicide applications are the best way to protect your tree nut orchards from disease. Once disease is visible, it’s often too late to prevent excessive damage.
Healthy Trees From Root to Fruit Proactive planning and early-season fungicide applications are essential to minimize disease impact and protect yield potential.
Almond Leaf Rust Caused by the Tranzschelia discolor fungus, leaf rust is characterized by small yellow spots on the leaf surface with reddish-brown pustules on the underside.
Hull Rot Infections caused by the Monilinia pathogen show brown areas on the outside of the hull and tan fungal growth on either the inside or outside, while infections caused by Rhizopus show a powdery black growth on the inside of the hull.
Keeping almond trees healthy every year is no small feat, but with the right disease management plan in place, your trees can grow strong and yield strong every season. This interactive infographic shows how our strategic fungicides solutions can help protect your trees – and your profit potential – from dormancy to harvest.
Mites and Navel Orangeworm Plan a cost-efficient insecticide program that is good for your yield potential and your wallet.
Navel Orangeworm A primary tree nut pest, navel orangeworm — or NOW — is small but mighty. Growers can take preventive steps to protect their crop and harvest high quality yield potential while fighting this pesky fiend.
Codling Moth Codling Moth can be a year-round nuisance in walnuts. Monitor for this pest in the winter months as they move into tree trunks and debris to overwinter.
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 tree 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.

Miravis® Duo fungicide is a revolutionary broad-spectrum, preventive 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 pressure and unpredictable weather.
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.
Afla-Guard® GR is a natural biocontrol agent that significantly reduces aflatoxin contamination levels to help improve marketability of yields. Early, preventive application minimizes contamination in the field for maximum results.
With two powerful modes of action, cyantraniliprole and abamectin, Minecto® Pro insecticide delivers lasting residual control on navel orangeworm, spider mites, red mites, codling moth and peach twig borer for overlapping control of multiple pest populations.
The combination of chlorantraniliprole (CTPR) and lambda-cyhalothrin (LCY) in Besiege® insecticide provides protection against the most difficult lepidopteran, sucking and chewing insect pests with rapid knockdown and long-lasting residual control.
Emamectin benzoate, the active ingredient in Proclaim® insecticide, 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.
