Orchard and Pest Management
Orchard sanitation and pest management go hand in hand in almond production. Both are integral in producing quality almonds. With increased pressure from Naval Orange Worm (NOW), as well as other pests, growers must be more diligent than ever with their pest management strategies and orchard sanitation. The University of California Extension has conducted extensive research on pest management, including cultural practices, monitoring strategies, and timing/rates of application. For more detailed information, check out the UC Extension’s IPM Guidelines.
