October 2021 1MC

In our 1-minute challenges we describe key almond, pistachio, prune, and walnut orchard tasks for the month of October.

On SacValleyOrchards.com (SVO) there is an article on harvest damage evaluation in walnuts to improve your pest and disease management for next year. For a healthy prune orchard next spring, follow through on late season irrigation and consider protecting pruning wounds with Topsin®-M.

Mention of pesticide use does not constitute a pesticide recommendation, merely the sharing of research findings. Always follow the pesticide label. The label is law. Find out more at ipm.ucanr.edu.
