West Coast Nut shared a great article on some of the latest research for NOW (Navel Orangeworm) research here in California. Thank you JCS Marketing for your thorough articles.

How does your PCA trap and monitor NOW flights? Are you spraying at the right time, with the right product on a properly calibrated spray rig? If you’d like an extra set of eyes and hands in your field, helping you navigate this pesky pest, give us a call and set up an appointment. We’d love to walk your fields with you and understand your goals. 209.595.6721 is the mobile number for Matthew Smith.

Research to determine why sterilized navel orangeworm moths are not flying or following pheromone plumes when they are released in pistachio orchards continues at the University of California (UC) Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center.

Last week I had the opportunity to sit down with Joel Siegel and learn more detail around his research with Navel Orangeworm control.

One of the big take-home pieces of information was working with your neighbors. If you are a small grower, aiming for less than 1% damage, you will have a very difficult time achieving your goal if your neighbor is choosing to take a 3-5% damage.

Communication is key and it’s something we pride ourselves in at Clover Ag Chem. Give us a call if you need a PCA that will help you battle Navel Orangeworm on your ranch. And, we can help you come up with a communication plan with you and your neighbors to tackle this pest.

Call Matthew Smith at 209.595.6721 and schedule an appointment.

Here’s a great write up about Navel Orangeworm.

Follow these tips in order to help keep navel orangeworm and spider mites to a minimum in your orchard and save you time and money in the long run.

Navel Orangeworm is one of the toughest pests to control in Almond production. To reduce the populations of NOW, there are cultural techniques and crop inputs that are used at specific times throughout the growing season.

Will you join us at the Almond Board of California’s meeting on the Modesto Junior College campus to learn more about NOW? We’d love to visit with you and learn more about your farming operation. Click on the link below for more information.
