YOUR BOTRYOSPHAERIA CALENDAR<br />
brought to you by -<br />
ALMONDS - Band Canker: Because of growth cracks and pruning<br />
wounds young almonds up to six years old are most susceptible to<br />
infections of Botryosphaeria, especially during periods of rainfall/<br />
wetness. To prevent and reduce Band Canker it is highly recommended<br />
to utilize an aggressive prophylactic treatment program.<br />
K-PHITE 7LP can be applied either as a foliar or chemigation every two<br />
months at an economical rate of 1 quart/acre for 1-2 year old trees,<br />
and 2 quarts/acre for older trees.<br />
PISTACHIOS - Panicle and Shoot Blight:<br />
Standard calendar applications either foliar or<br />
through chemigation (4x) mid-April (bloom),<br />
mid-<strong>May</strong>, mid-June, mid-July.<br />
K-PHITE 7LP should be applied at a rate of 2-3 quarts/acre, using higher rates for chemigation and larger<br />
trees. Because neither Botryosphaeria or K-PHITE 7LP have ever exhibited resistance you may use<br />
repeated treatments as a stand alone product while realizing a substantial cost savings. K-PHITE 7LP has<br />
also been proven to be highly effective on Alternaria applied either foliar or through the soil. Additional<br />
uses include control of Phytopthora, Pythium, and Phytopythium helicodes .<br />
WALNUTS - Botryosphaeria and Phomopsis Cankers: Standard calendar sprays (3x)mid-<strong>May</strong>,<br />
mid-June, mid-July. Considering lower prices for walnuts if budgets are limited to only one spray, the<br />
latter half of June is recommended.<br />
K-PHITE 7LP is a highly effective, low cost fungicide/bactericide that is also registered for Xanthomonas<br />
(Walnut Blight) as well as Phytophthora Root and Crown Rot. Use at a rate of 3 quarts/acre.<br />
K-PHITE 7LP—RATED FOUR STARS **** FOR BOTRYOSPHAERIA<br />
