Encore: Band Canker in Almonds with Dani Lightle
Phoebe got the chance to interview former orchard systems advisor Dani Lightle on band canker. There’s a lot we don’t know about infections, but she shares what we know about survival, disease latency, and ages of infection. She also runs through some past and ongoing research. Mention of a trade name is not an endorsement or recommendation. Thank you to the Almond Board of California and the California Pistachio Research Board for their support. Music by Muriel Gordon.

ACC research in olives with Becky Wheeler-Dykes
Fruit removal is a serious issue in table olive production, namely because the fruit are harvested before they are ripe. ACC, an ethylene precursor, has the potential to improve fruit removal (please note that the commercial product is not registered in olives yet and cannot legally be used). Becky Wheeler-Dykes, an advisor in Glenn, Colusa, and Tehama Counties, has been examining its efficacy in olives with a team of researchers at UC Davis. She shares some preliminary, and promising results in this week’s episode. Mention of a pesticide does not constitute a pesticide recommendation, and mention of specific trade names does not constitute an endorsement. Always follow the pesticide label.

Distribution uniformity return on investment tool
Anyone who has an irrigation system knows that it needs to be maintained for peak performance. Anyone who has an irrigation system also knows that almost everything seems to be more important in the moment than flushing those lines or checking pressures. A distribution uniformity test is a good way to assess the health of your irrigation system, but it isn’t always easy to figure out if the cost of making these fixes, particularly big fixes, will pencil out. CURES got a grant a few years back to develop a tool to estimate the return on investment for making fixes to a system. Inge Bisconer and Parry Klassen share how the tool works and what spurred them to develop it in this week’s episode.
