AgFax Tree Crops/California: Hull Split Sprays, Plenty Of Progress - July 15
Our thanks to BASF and its California team for sponsoring AgFax Tree Crops/California.
OVERVIEW
Hull split sprays continue and growers in the lower San Joaquin Valley are cranking up their second round of applications.
Most first sprays have included a miticide, based on reports over the last two weeks. The exceptions tend to be where mite treatments went out recently or in blocks where mites were virtually nonexistent. In those cases, a miticide will likely be part of the package with the second spray.
A very limited amount of shaking could start in Kern County before the end of July. But our contacts generally say that any shaking in their areas won’t kick into gear until sometime in August. Compared to recent years, this won’t be a harvest season with a big head start.
