Mating disruption has been found to reduce NOW damage in almonds by, on average, 50%, however we think it is most effective when it is applied in blocks that are 40 acres or larger. This means that a lot of growers who may be interested in mating disruption feel like they may not be able to use it due to their small blocks. A collaborative partnership between the Almond Board of California, University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, Land IQ, and Blue Diamond Growers have put together the Neighbors Program, where interested growers can register their blocks and will be connected with neighbors who are also interested in implementing mating disruption.
