🚫 STOP NOW: Take Control of Navel Orangeworm in Almonds & Pistachios
Did you know that navel orangeworm (NOW) remains the most economically devastating insect pest in tree nuts? A well-timed program is essential for protecting tree nut yield and quality. Valent U.S.A. delivers proven performance with a two-step NOW management program:
✅ Step 1: DiPel® DF Biological Insecticide
Apply ~7 days before hull split when egg hatch is imminent
• Quickly stops feeding
• Prevents larval nutmeat damage
✅ Step 2: Danitol® 2.4 EC Spray
Apply at hull split for contact control when exposure and pressure are highest
• Controls newly hatching larvae
• Knocks down flying adults to reduce egg laying
Together, DiPel DF + Danitol provide a powerful, complementary approach to help defend your crop during the most critical windows.
