They also want long shelf life. Grocery stores want less shrinkage. Growers need high marketable yields of superior quality fruit to maximize per acre returns. Agro-K’s CLEAN line of nutritional products and application program is designed to deliver – superior eating quality consumers demand, less in- store shrink grocers demand and maximum marketable yields growers require. The first part of a superior eating experience is the bite. It needs to be firm and crisp on the outside with good structural integrity on the inside. Maximizing calcium uptake into fruit cell walls during fruit cell division is critical to maximizing grape skin cell-wall thickness, internal flesh firmness and shelf life (minimizing shrink). Managing the N/Ca ratio is critical to growing firm fruit that stores well. CLEAN Cal is designed for rapid and complete uptake to help growers deliver that“first bite” experience in fruit that also stores better on the grocery store shelf and longer at home. Product available at The second part of the consumer taste experience is flavor which is driven by brix, aromatics and flavonoids. To achieve high yields and full flavor requires the vine have large, fully functional leaves and maximum chlorophyll. The key nutrients: magnesium, manganese, iron, copper and zinc are needed as the leaves are forming and expanding to ensure sufficient leaf surface area and maximize chlorophyll function to drive optimal flavor, texture and shelf life. Allowing you to put the best finish on a quality bunch. Agro-K’s CLEAN line of certified products gives organic growers the ability to meet“peak nutrient demand”in a form that goes in to tissues quickly and completely, resulting in superior fruit quality and yield. Plant physiology drives nutrient timing and understanding this timing gives growers the ability to address peak demand timings and maximize fruit quality and profitability. Use the right nutrients, at the right time, in the right form for the highest yields and best quality. Talk to Agro-K or your authorized distributor today about how CLEAN can help you achieve higher yields of superior fruit. The CLEAN experience - superior fruit and higher yields Don’t Compromise on your Organic Nutrients

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 Rot HARVEST PINK BUD BLOOM SHELL-HARDENING GROWTH February March April May June July August September Brown Rot Blossom Blight, Jacket Rot, Anthracnose, Shot Hole, Scab Rust, Alternaria Hull Rot /// Rising Impact of Almond Bloom Diseases Prepare for a winning season and learn more about bloom disease management. Contact your Bayer representative or visit LunaScalaGamePlan.com. Application Timing Game Plan for a Winning Season Diseases to Watch /// Brown Rot Blossom Blight – Thrives in humid temperatures with or without rain. /// Anthracnose – Originates in warm, rainy weather. /// Jacket Rot – Rare, but, under cool and wet conditions at bloom, can cause devastating loss. /// Scab – Favors wet weather and spreads to new sites by wind or rain. /// Shot Hole – Requires prolonged periods of moisture, and water moves spores to new sites. /// Alternaria – Develops with high humidity where dew forms and air is stagnant. /// Rust – Favors humid conditions, worsens in rainy weather and spreads easily by wind.

November 2020 www.myaglife.com 43 EQUIPMENT Equipment A Proactive Approach to Orchard Planting California’s orchards are a vital part of the local economy, providing over half of the fruits and nuts we consume daily. The caretakers of these orchards work tirelessly to provide us with healthy, nutritious foods. Tree nut growers play a dual role in the health and safety of the communities in which they live and work – providing food and promoting safety. By planting new orchard trees that are compatible with power lines, growers can help ensure safe and reliable power for the 16 million Northern and Central California residents who depend on it. Planting a new orchard is an important investment – one that growers consider carefully, after thorough thought and planning. Sometimes, planning new plantings around power lines is a missed step in the orchard planning process. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) works with growers to plan before they plant, identifying power line-friendly planting locations early in the orchard planning process to help growers maximize their investment. Together, tree nut growers and PG&E can reach safe solutions that help meet growers’ needs while protecting electric system reliability and making sure California communities remain safe. In addition to keeping communities safe, a proactive approach to orchard planning helps growers avoid spending needlessly on land in incompatible areas. Irrigation systems and trees that lie in right of way areas will ultimately require removal. Plan Before You Plant resources are available for growers to learn more about the importance of maintaining safe distances from transmission lines. Reach out early in your orchard planning process to schedule an orchard visit with an expert who can identify power line-friendly locations near transmission lines. For more information, visit www.pge.com/planbeforeplanting or call 1-800-743-5000.
