They are more prevalent than ever in California, where increasingly erratic weather is a consistent threat, creating prime conditions for diseases to thrive and have a signi cant effect on almond yield potential. As a result, growers need a strategic game plan to make the best countermove against bloom diseases while also managing resistance.Scala, Luna Experience and Luna Sensation from ®®®Bayer are the recommended fungicide treatments to counteract these challenges. Growers can’t out-spray bloom diseases, but they can outsmart them through a combination of knowledge, application timing and by using products that demonstrate consistently high performance, overcome weather challenges and manage resistance.“We always like to recommend that our fungicides are used in a preventive manner prior to there being disease issues. So proper timing is very important,” says Matthew Wilson, eld sales representative for Bayer.Scala fungicide is notable for its control of Brown rot blossom blight at pink bud as an early-season spray option. It also offers both preventive and curative activity, rapid penetration and an ease of mobility into the bud and blossom. It is crop safe, mixes well with IPM programs and other products, and is effective across a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions, with minimal adverse effects on bene cial insect species. PCA Ryan Garcia of Salida Ag Chem in Modesto, California, uses Scala. “I’ll use it in the early stages of bloom for Brown rot blossom blight. I think it’s a great material.” “We’re kicking off with Scala,” notes grower Scott Long, general manager for Superior Fruit Ranch in Ceres, California. “We’ll come back with Luna and that ®gives us full coverage, plus it really helps us cover all aspects and concerns in the early spring period.” Luna Experience and Luna Sensation are strong choices for maximizing yields by providing long-lasting, broad-spectrum disease protection when applied at bloom. Luna penetrates green tissue and moves systemically into closed buds, protecting against Brown rot blossom blight, Jacket rot, Shot hole, Anthracnose, Scab, Rust and Alternaria. It also offers two built-in modes of action for each product, providing the exibility to alternate FRAC groups for more effective fungicide resistance management.“I use Luna products predominantly in the bloom time for a myriad of diseases,” says PCA David Vermeulen of Vernalis, California. “I like the ease of handling, and it mixes well with a number of other products. It also covers a broad spectrum of different fungal diseases I’m going after.” Brown Rot Blossom Blight, Jacket RotHARVESTPINKBUDBLOOMSHELL-HARDENINGGROWTHFebruaryMarchAprilMayJuneJulyAugust September Brown Rot Blossom Blight, Jacket Rot, Anthracnose, Shot Hole, Scab Rust, Alternaria Hull Rot///Rising Impact of Almond Bloom DiseasesPrepare for a winning season and learn more about bloom disease management.
