Almond Wise

As we head into summer and the orchards enter hull split timing, we need to consider best practices to mitigate almond hull rot. An application of Utilize PK, timed with Troubadour insecticide for Navel Orange Worm in late June and July during hull split, may reduce hull rot by up to 77%. High rates of applied nitrogen in almonds can increase hull rot incidence. A foliar nutrient system, Utilize PK supports balanced nitrogen to boost plant performance and utilize nitrogen more efficiently to reduce hull rot.
