Stop NOW: A Proven One‑Two Punch Program for Navel Orangeworm Control in Almonds and Pistachios
NOW larvae cause the most damage immediately after egg hatch, when they rapidly burrow into the developing nut. Once larvae enter the nut, control options are limited, making early intervention critical. UC IPM emphasizes protecting nuts before and during hull split, when orchards are most vulnerable to infestation. The Valent program responds directly to this challenge with a biological-first foundation followed by contact control.
