New materials offer resistance management options for peach twig borer control in almonds. MANAGING key pests using established, inexpensive crop protection materials could help maintain future orchard profitability as the almond industry looks aheadto larger crops and uncertain prices in the coming decade. A strong resistance management program, including the practice of alternating between products of distinctly different chemical groups, will help ensure that all effective materials stay effective as long as possible. This article reports on recent University of California testing of new, alternative chemistries that provide effective control of peach twig borer, a key pest of almond.
