  • September Orchard Tasks – Pistachios

    Pistachio harvest ended earlier than usual this year, but growers should not stop irrigating their orchards just yet. The early finish creates a longer post-harvest period before trees enter dormancy, making proper irrigation especially important.

    Research by Daniele Zaccaria, Mae Culumber and Anderson Safre of the University of California Cooperative Extension indicates that pistachio trees continue using water after the nuts have been removed. Although harvest is complete, evapotranspiration—the loss of water from the soil and through the trees’ leaves—continues until the trees become dormant.

    Because the post-harvest season will be longer this year, growers should continue monitoring their orchards’ water needs. Stopping irrigation too soon could place unnecessary stress on trees as they prepare for next season.

    However, the researchers suggest growers may be able to conserve water through carefully timed deficit irrigation. This practice involves applying less water than the orchard would normally use during selected periods. When managed properly, deficit irrigation may reduce water use by about 20% with little to no effect on the following year’s harvest.

    The key is timing. Growers should consider orchard conditions, soil moisture and the trees’ water needs before reducing irrigation. An early harvest does not mean water use has ended, and post-harvest management can play an important role in supporting the next crop.

  • September Orchard Tasks – Almonds

    Although almond harvest may be wrapping up, the work needed to prepare orchards for next season has already begun. Post-harvest priorities include monitoring for disease, irrigating trees, pruning and managing pests.

    Brent Holtz with the University of California Cooperative Extension advises growers to watch for red leaf blotch and rust. Bright orange spots on leaves may indicate red leaf blotch, while orange and black spores can be signs of rust. This year’s warm March appears to have increased the severity of rust, making it important to avoid irrigation practices that keep orchards humid for extended periods.

    However, growers should not stop irrigating altogether. Water should be applied as soon as the harvested nuts are removed from the orchard floor. Dr. David Goldhamer, emeritus irrigation specialist with UC Davis, says almond trees can use up to 11 acre-inches of water after harvest if their leaves remain active. Proper post-harvest irrigation can also help move salt below the trees’ root zone.

    Growers can also begin pruning mature orchards immediately after harvest instead of waiting until dormancy. Pruning early gives wounds time to heal before rainfall, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. While studies indicate pruning does not significantly improve almond yields, it remains necessary to provide enough space for orchard equipment to pass between trees.

    Fall is also a good time to manage gophers, ground squirrels and mice. Baiting or fumigation can help control ground squirrels before they enter hibernation. Growers should also look for pieces of almond shells left in tree crotches, which may indicate mouse activity.

  • Precision Timing Critical for Managing Hull Rot

    With this season’s hull rot treatment window now behind growers, recent research shared by UCCE advisors offers timely guidance for evaluating disease pressure this year and planning more precise management decisions next season. Hull rot remains one of the more frustrating and yield-limiting diseases in California almonds, particularly because its full impact is not always visible in the year it occurs. The research is helping clarify where growers should focus their efforts, especially as the disease complex evolves and growing conditions continue to favor new pathogens.

    Mohammad Yaghmour, orchard systems advisor in Kern County, has been closely tracking changes in the organisms responsible for hull rot. While the disease has long been associated with Rhizopus stolonifer and Monilinia species, the increasing presence of Aspergillus niger is shifting both how the disease develops and how it needs to be managed in the orchard.

    Hull rot follows a classic disease triangle, requiring a susceptible host, a pathogen, and the right environmental conditions. What makes this disease particularly challenging is that all three components are often present at hull split, when almonds are physiologically vulnerable and environmental conditions can favor fungal growth. Infection begins in the hull, but the most damaging effects appear later as the fungus moves into the fruiting wood. Leaves surrounding infected nuts dry rapidly, and the spurs that would produce next year’s crop are killed. In severe cases, entire shoots can be lost.

    This delayed impact is critical. Yield losses are not just tied to visible infection but to the loss of next year’s bearing wood. Research conducted across multiple orchards showed that yield reductions become meaningful once strike levels reach roughly one hundred per tree. At that point, the cumulative loss of spurs begins to reduce the productive capacity of the tree in the following season.

    One of the most important takeaways from this work is that not all hull rot is the same. Each pathogen behaves differently and requires different management timing. Monilinia, which also causes brown rot during bloom, infects earlier and must be managed weeks before hull split. In contrast, both Rhizopus and Aspergillusare primarily driven by inoculum originating in the soil, and infections occur at or shortly after hull split.

    The rise of Aspergillus niger is particularly important for growers in warmer production areas. This pathogen thrives under higher temperatures and has become increasingly common in Kern County before spreading more broadly across the Central Valley. Its symptoms differ subtly from those of Rhizopus. Instead of the gray, fuzzy growth commonly associated with Rhizopus, Aspergillus produces darker, flatter, jet-black spores. It can also lead to internal damage, including black streaking in wood due to toxin production, which contributes to spur and shoot death.

    Understanding when infection occurs has helped refine management recommendations. Research shows that almonds are most susceptible during early hull opening, particularly when the split is still narrow. That window—when the hull has just begun to open—is where infection severity is often highest for Aspergillus. This underscores why spray timing is so critical. Missing that narrow window can significantly reduce the effectiveness of control measures.

    Variety also plays a role. Nonpareil, Butte, and Sonora have shown higher susceptibility, while Monterey and Fritz tend to be less affected under similar conditions. In mixed plantings, this means growers should expect greater risk in Nonpareil blocks and manage accordingly, prioritizing inputs where the return on protection is highest.

    Cultural practices continue to play an essential role in reducing disease pressure. Excess nitrogen has been shown to increase susceptibility, likely by promoting lush growth that favors infection. Careful nitrogen management can reduce that risk. You can learn more about nitrogen management at Almonds.org/NutrientManagement. Similarly, irrigation practices influence disease development. Strategic deficit irrigation has been linked to reduced incidence of Rhizopus, while excessive soil moisture during hull split can increase disease pressure.

    Dust management is another overlooked but important factor. Because Aspergillus and Rhizopus originate in the soil, any activity that creates dust can move spores into the canopy. Equipment traffic during hull split can unintentionally increase inoculum pressure at the exact time tissues are most vulnerable. Reducing dust during this period can help limit infection.

    Fungicides remain a valuable tool, but they are not a standalone solution. Their effectiveness depends heavily on correct timing and proper pathogen identification. Materials in several FRAC groups have shown strong performance when applied at the early stages of hull split. However, applying them too early or too late significantly reduces their value. In most cases, hull split sprays for disease management can be aligned with navel orangeworm treatments, helping to streamline operations.

    For growers, the message is clear: while the opportunity for in-season treatment may have passed, hull rot management is less about any single treatment and more about matching the right tool to the right moment. By using this season’s observations to scout for disease pressure, identify the pathogen involved and plan ahead for precise spray timing, balanced nitrogen, careful irrigation and dust reduction, growers can better protect the fruiting wood that supports next year’s crop and build more resilient orchard systems over time. — Story contributed by the Almond Board of California

  • Blue Diamond Releases Crop Progress Report

    Blue Diamond Growers release its monthly crop progress report, noting that harvesting conditions began earlier this year due to the impact of the weather.

    Warm summer temperatures dominated the conditions in California’s Central Valley during much of July, with a significant heat wave developing during the final week of the period. Daily maximum temperatures ranged predominately between the mid- and upper 90’s to just over 100 degrees with highest temperatures reported in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Morning lows exhibited greater variability, with readings ranging from the low 50’s to lower 70’s, depending on the degree of cloud cover each morning. Temperatures were amplified by monsoonal moisture traveling northward, bringing occasionally cloudy skies and increased humidity. Increasing daytime temperatures materialized in the final days of the period, marking the start of a significant heat wave. Temperatures were reported to be between 102 to 105 degrees, with higher temperatures forecast for the first week of August.

    The annual return of summertime monsoon flows stirred a bit of apprehension among California’s almond growers, as memories of the challenging 2025 harvest season were rekindled. With that in mind, growers and huller/sheller operators alike worked to complete final pre-harvest tasks during July, focusing on crop maturity that is running well ahead of normal.

    Insect and vegetation management were prime considerations during the period. As noted in our previous report, treatments to protect early harvesting varieties from damage by navel orangeworm were initiated in June, causing the early or advanced crop and pest development. As the crop continues to develop, secondary treatments, intended to catch the insect’s next generation and protect mid and later maturing varieties, were completed in July. As a reflection of the year’s advanced crop development, second treatments have been conducted in roughly the same time frame that initial applications would have been in “normal” years.

    As for other pest issues, observers are reporting increased population of web-spinning mites in the Sacramento and southern San Joaquin Valleys. Control at this stage of crop development presents several challenges and the forecast heat wave promises to expand existing infestations. Treatments targeting almond-damaging ant species have also been performed, including second applications in cases with particularly high populations.

    Observers are reporting widespread instances of red blotch infections in orchards throughout the Central Valley. As may be seen in the photo accompanying this report, if untreated, red blotch can cause severe foliar damage. However, symptoms of this new fungal disease do not appear until 30 to 40 days after infection. Easily spread by airborne spores that are activated by rain events, and potentially by irrigation, this disease spread from a single orchard in Merced County in 2024 to most of the Central Valley by 2025. Orchards that did not receive adequate protection, or any treatments at all are presenting significant symptoms, with the worst infections beginning to defoliate the trees. This is especially problematic in orchards that have been abandoned. Leaf rust, which follows a similar symptomology, has also been observed.

    After delaying or deferring mower passes during the growing season to control costs, vegetation management on the orchard floor became particularly important during the period. Growers must provide for a clean, firm soil surface within the orchard middles (the area between the tree rows), to facilitate an efficient harvest. Where warranted, treatments to control weed regrowth, followed by flail mowers running close to the soil surface, provide the best conditions for a clean harvest.

    Crop maturity also made irrigation management a focal point. Machinery passing through the orchards must be timed between irrigations to prevent rutting of the surface. For those working to employ regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) described in our previous report, the hotter temperatures complicate grower decisions. Under RDI, growers reduce irrigation to one-half of the orchard’s consumptive use for a two-week period at the initiation of hull split. Keeping in mind that water consumption increases as temperatures rise, in extreme cases, normal irrigation scheduling can result in one-half of consumptive use. For those with orchards ready for harvest, water must also be withheld to prevent bark damage during shaking.

    Owing to the advanced crop maturity, harvest operations of the 2026 crop were launched in mid-July. Observers reported the shakers entered the first orchard on July 10 in western Colusa County. Shakers began working in other advanced plantings along the west side of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys during the week of July 12 and the first crop to be picked up was delivered to huller/shellers during the week of July 19. For those along the east side and along the Highway 99 corridor, shaking of advanced blocks is expected to begin during the first week of August.

    Growers and observers have noted that hulls have begun splitting in several pollinator varieties, indicating a potentially compressed harvest. However, how the crop will flow though huller/shellers will be determined as more crop arrives in the first weeks of August. Observers have noted thick hulls in many orchards that can potentially reduce flow rates during hulling.

  • 2025 Results of Pre-Emergent Herbicide Demonstration Trial for Walnut

    The 2025 UCCE walnut pre-emergent herbicide demonstration trial is completed, and the results show strengths and weaknesses of 19 different herbicide treatments, applied either in February or March.

    Takeaways:

    1. All treatments were applied with a strong post-emergent mix, but hairy fleabane and white clover were not adequately controlled with post-emergent treatments alone. Control was dependent on the addition of an ALS inhibitor herbicide (products like Craze, Matrix, or Mission).

    2. Summer annual weeds were best controlled by products with long residuals (products like Alion, Chateau, Brake On! (not registered in CA), and Prowl.

    3. Yellow nutsedge was controlled by treatments with Zeus or Craze.

    4. Conclusion: Pre-emergent treatments in late winter must account for winter annual weeds that have already emerged and perennial weeds while also maintaining good residual control further into the summer.

    Introduction

    Winter pre-emergent herbicide applications are critical to get right if yearly weed management operations are going to be successful in walnut orchards. Poor selection of herbicides or missed timing could make the difference between good control and battling an overwhelming infestation of weeds. In walnut orchards I have regularly heard two comments concerning pre-emergent herbicide applications in walnut orchards:

    1. Those who apply pre-emergent herbicides in the fall, just after harvest, tend to have the cleanest orchards.

    2. February or March are the most common times to apply pre-emergent herbicides in walnut orchards.

    Maybe my perception is incorrect, but these weed control strategies seem to be at odds. When it comes to winter annual weeds, it is likely safest to apply pre-emergent herbicides before germination due to several common weed species with herbicide resistance issues (hairy fleabane, Italian ryegrass, annual bluegrass). Applications later in the winter will have to deal with emerged weeds, potentially resulting in more escapes and misses.

    However, herbicide treatments in February or March are common, and many growers have been successful with these treatments. Why is this, and what is the key to achieving good control later in the winter? Success at later timings depends on how much post-emergent activity you are getting out of your tank mix. Some pre-emergent herbicides can contribute to your post-emergent activity. Common pre-emergent herbicides like Goal, Chateau, Matrix, Pindar, and others add some extra post-emergent activity to tank mixes when used in winter months. Dr. Brad Hanson (UCCE Weed Specialist at UC Davis) discussed this topic when he addressed tank mixes of Alion and Matrix in his UC Weed Science Blog article (linked here). My recent work with rimsulfuron on established johnsongrass also explored this subject (linked here). These prior discussions focused on rimsulfuron products as tank mix partners for pre-emergent applications, but I wanted test a broader range of products applied in February and March. This year’s walnut preemergent herbicide demonstration made some progress toward that goal.

    I will discuss my findings next, and at the end of this article I have included results tables. All products except one are currently labeled for use in walnut orchards, though with some restrictions on orchard age. The one unlabeled product in this study was Brake On!, manufactured by SePRO, currently pending registration in CA. This is not an exhaustive list, and the data provided here does not constitute a recommendation of any product.

    Trial design

    In 2025, I arranged my pre-emergent demonstration trial to evaluate individual products and tank mixes for weed control efficacy when applied in February and March. This trial was installed in the Loybas Hill region of Tehama County, in a 4-year-old walnut orchard with Tehama silt loam soil. A post-emergent mix of 2 qt/A Roundup Powermax 3 and 2 qt/A Rely 280 was added to every plot in February, and pre-emergent herbicides were applied either in the mix, or one month later in March. The tables at the end of this article show the full list of treatments and when they were applied. The first table represents weeds that were present at application, hairy fleabane and white clover. The second represents weeds that grew to be prominent in May and June, so their control depended on residual activity from my herbicide treatments lasting long into the summer.

    Results overview

    White Clover and Hairy Fleabane (Table 1): Both weeds were controlled by all three group 2 herbicides tested: Craze, Revolt, and Mission. Revolt was weaker on fleabane while Craze was weaker on clover and these differences also showed up in the tank mix treatments with both products applied with Prowl. February and March treatments with these three herbicides produced very similar results. The 12 fl oz/A rate of Chateau also effectively suppressed both species.

    Summer annual weeds (Table 2): The primary weeds in the categories recorded here were grass weeds (jungle rice and large crabgrass) and broadleaf weeds (prostrate knotweed, spurge, and pigweed). Many herbicides provided good control until June (3-4 months after treatment) but only Alion, Brake on! (not currently labeled for CA), and March-applied Mission maintained “good” control of broadleaves through July. Only Alion and Prowl maintained “good” control of grasses through July.

    Yellow Nutsedge (YNS; Table 2): Zeus was the best tested product for nutsedge control, but Craze also showed some effects in July by keeping nutsedge coverage low. Rimsulfuron products like Matrix and Revolt are also labeled for YNS control, but labels suggest sequential applications, and the application timings used in this trial may not have been ideal to target YNS with this product.

    Summary and cautions:

    This is a single trial only representing one weed population and one soil type, so results may vary by location. However, hopefully this demonstrates the importance of tank mixing to control emerged weeds as well as future emergence. Group 2 herbicides like Revolt, Mission, and Craze can provide good post-emergent control in addition to their pre-emergent activity. But be cautious, this herbicide group is notorious for herbicide resistance. Do not overuse this class of herbicides or you will likely start seeing weeds escaping your treatments.

    Weed control tables:

    Control was determined by calculating % reduction in weed coverage, relative to the plot with the worst infestation. Control is summarized by four categories. These categories may not represent each grower’s threshold of tolerance for weed control, but they can still provide relative comparisons between the products tested.

    Poor control is indicated by a “p”, representing control between 0 and 50%.

    Moderate control is indicted by an “m”, representing control between 50 and 70%.

    Good control is indicated by a “g” and highlighted light green, representing control between 70 and 90%.

    Excellent control is indicated by an “e” and highlighted dark green, representing control between 90 and 100%.

    Table 1: The effect of different pre-emergent herbicides on two weeds that were present at application, hairy fleabane and white clover.

    Table 2: The effect of different pre-emergent herbicides on weeds that germinated or sprouted in summer. Summer annual broadleaves included prostrate spurge, knotweed, and pigweed and summer annual grasses were primarily crabgrass and jungle rice.

  • Almond Orchards Prevail in Battle with Phytophthora

    SPONSORED CONTENT

    How one California almond grower managed over-soaked orchards to prevent devastating soilborne pathogens.

    BY BETHANY MACON 

    Losing crops is a reality of farming, especially when you’re battling weather, new pests and emerging diseases. Seeing a few acres of your life’s work perish is tough, but the threat of losing your entire operation is a different type of sting. One California almond grower shares how soil health improvements made his orchards vulnerable to disease and how he was able to bring them back from the brink of total devastation.

    Trees Lost to Unusually Wet Weather Worsened by Soil Prep

    Whole orchard recycling is a process to reincorporate an outgoing orchard in preparation for planting a new one. Mature trees are felled and ground into woodchips, which are then spread and incorporated into the soil. The University of California found that this process can help improve water retention. The issue for John Fassler, a California pest advisor who went through whole orchard recycling, was that the moist soil and greater-than-normal rainfall turned his orchards into the perfect breeding ground for oomycete pathogens like Phytophthora.

    Fassler has consulted at Braden Farms where they used whole orchard recycling as a way to prepare for planting a new orchard. “This is a fairly new process, which means we’re learning as we go,” he says. “Some issues we’ve seen have been a rise in fungal diseases, such as Phytophthora and other replant diseases.”

    Mother Nature hasn’t helped the fungal disease risk, especially at the beginning of the 2023 growing season. California experienced greater than average annual precipitation in 2023, breaking numerous records and ending three years of persistent drought, according to the California Nevada River Forecast Center.

    “We’ve had significant rainfall in California the last two years, so this has really intensified the battle with Phytophthora in some spots,” says Ashley Bandoni, Syngenta sales representative and California almond grower.

    Fassler experienced devastation due to those heavy rains. One of his orchards was completely submerged, worsening the orchard’s Phytophthora issues.

    “We lost about 500 trees on this block due to Phytophthora and replant disease,” says Fassler. “Phytophthora is becoming more and more of an issue in these wetter years.”

    Phytophthora Overtakes Young Almond Trees

    Many California growers and crop consultants have been battling fungal disease challenges.

    Ethan Nicol, an independent pest control advisor and crop consultant for Balanced Agronomics, helped one of his customers manage extreme Phytophthora in a young almond orchard.

    Planted in the fall of 2021, Nicol began seeing early symptoms of Phytophthora infections the following spring. Young trees like the ones in the orchard Nicol manages tend to be more susceptible to disease because their root systems and crown areas are smaller compared to those of mature trees, according to the University of California Department of Agriculture.

    “In that first 2022 season, we observed maybe 30 percent of the orchard was infected,” says Nicol. “By mid-August, we had really grown to realize the significance of the issue.”

    Coming Back from Orchard Devastation

    For both Nicol and Fassler, almond yield potential was on the line and devastation was just over the horizon. They both had a tough decision to make.

    “As far as doing our research going into it, usually we have the Syngenta reps come in to help us decide if the product will be a good fit for us,” says Fassler. “We also ask about how the product differentiates itself from what we’ve already been doing.”

    After discussions with their local Syngenta experts, Fassler and Nicol decided to apply Orondis® fungicide to help save their orchards. Fassler says his flooded orchard plot turned around.

    “My experience with Orondis changed up our program,” says Fassler. “We’ve been able to work it into our program really well and we didn’t lose one tree this year.”

    Nicol’s experience with Orondis was also nothing short of extraordinary. Before application, Nicol was working with the grower to continuously remove and replant dead trees. They lost roughly 600 almond trees — six ranches — to Phytophthora. Once Orondis was applied in 2023, Nicol observed a noticeable decline in newly infected trees.

    [quotes quotes_style=”bpull” quotes_pos=”center”] My experience with Orondis changed up our program. We’ve been able to work it into our program really well and we didn’t lose one tree this year.  —John Fassler, California Pest Advisor [/quotes]

    “We were confident in the success that we were seeing by the replants taking and growing strongly, and the existing trees continuing to grow and not develop signs of Phytophthora,” says Nicol. “Going into 2024, just as a precaution and to help protect this investment, we made an additional Orondis application. There’s been almost no sign of infected trees this season.”

    Growers Also Need Care

    If Fassler and Nicol didn’t have the guidance and support of their Syngenta representatives, their almond orchards might have been lost.

    “I’ve worked with Syngenta for probably about the last 20 years, and through the years we’ve had many different experiences,” says Fassler. “Syngenta has always been there to help us through and guide us through what needed to be done.”

  • New Technology is Helping Nut Growers Spray More Effectively – Especially at Hull Split

    SPONSORED CONTENT

    In California’s Central Valley, timing and precision are everything—especially during Hull Split, the most critical spray window of the season for nut growers. With the pressure on and no room for error, visibility into spray performance can make the difference between a successful season and significant crop losses.

    That’s where Fieldin comes in.

    A Fresno-based company with over a decade of experience serving nut growers, Fieldin has established itself as the gold standard in smart farm operations. With more than 300,000 acres of nut orchards under management, Fieldin’s platform helps growers streamline everything from spraying to mowing and harvesting, delivering actionable insights that improve efficiency and reduce costly mistakes.

    Now, Fieldin is expanding its value with cutting-edge spray monitoring technology, just in time for Hull Split.

    Introducing Remote Flow Monitoring

    Through a new partnership with ARAG and PAS, Fieldin now offers real-time flow monitoring that gives growers precise, in-the-moment visibility into their spray operations. This technology eliminates the guesswork around what was applied and how much, allowing farm managers to make data-driven adjustments on the fly.

    “The Hull Split spray is the most important of the season,” says Iftach Birger, Co-Founder and COO of Fieldin. “And when poor coverage means poor control, the risk of significant losses is real.”

    Research shows that three factors drive Hull Split spray performance: spray speed, GPA (gallons per acre), and canopy size. With Fieldin’s Remote Flow Monitoring, growers gain live visibility into both spray speed and GPA—the two most critical metrics for Hull Split accuracy—without needing to replace existing equipment or disrupt current workflows.

    Real-Time Visibility, Real-World Results

    Many growers rely on maps or assumptions to confirm their sprays. But these can be deceiving. In one case, Fieldin’s coverage maps indicated a block was fully treated—but flow data revealed the spray rate dropped near the end, leaving key sections under-treated. In another case, a 20% drop in application rate went undetected until Fieldin’s flow monitoring flagged it in real time.

    Without this technology, those issues would have gone unnoticed until it was too late, leading to reduced pest control, weakened nut quality, and potentially a second costly pass.

    Fieldin’s solution changes that. With Remote Flow Monitoring, managers can:

    • Verify coverage and GPA targets in real time

    • Streamline the calibration process

    • Identify underperforming machines or crews (e.g., RPM issues or clogged nozzles)

    • Avoid missed applications and unnecessary re-sprays

    • Protect yield, quality, and long-term resistance management

    Easy to Adopt, Built for the Field

    Best of all, the system integrates seamlessly with most sprayers and is quick to install. No major equipment changes are required, and Fieldin’s experienced team handles setup and onboarding to ensure success from day one.

    Though designed with Hull Split in mind, Remote Flow Monitoring delivers value across every spray event—from post-harvest cleanups to nutrient applications—making it a lasting investment in operational excellence.

    “We built this for real-world challenges,” Birger explains. “Growers need control and clarity, not complexity. That’s what we deliver.”

    Special Promotion for Hull Split Season

    To help new customers prepare for the Hull Split window, Fieldin is offering limited-time introductory pricing for its Remote Flow Monitoring solution.

    “This tool pays for itself quickly when you factor in the cost of a missed spray,” Birger says. “We’re here to make sure growers don’t have to take that risk.”
