Pistachios
Pistachios
Pistachio (Pistacia vera) refers to a small tree of the cashew family (Anacardiaceae) and its edible seeds, grown in dry lands in warm or temperate climates. The pistachio tree is believed to be indigenous to Iran. It is widely cultivated from Afghanistan to the Mediterranean region and in California. Pistachios require long, hot, dry summers and a cool winter. California, Arizona, and New Mexico represent 100% of the US commercial pistachio production
Abiotic Stress
Environmental or abiotic stress has the potential to negatively impact plant health, productivity, crop quality and yield. With the unique formulation of Fertigard™, these abiotic stressors can be mitigated via a multifaceted approach to plant health. Water retention, overall plant metabolism, as well as general plant recovery can be significantly improved with the addition of Fertigard™. By managing abiotic stress effects, yield losses can be potentially minimized. Best effects are observed when applied prior to stressful conditions.
Fertigard™
Fertigard™ 2-41-27 is a unique blend that contains soluble phosphate and phosphite for crops that experience plant stress during key physiological periods and demand superior efficiency and response.
Nut Fill
Nut Fill is an important and nutritionally taxing period within a plant. Phosphorus and potassium are critical nutrients required at this time, as they are responsible for translocation of proteins and sugars, water balance in the plant, production and utilization of ATP, root development and many other processes. The proprietary humectant system provided by Sugar Express® enables increased absorption and translocation of nutrients during this stage.
Sugar Express®
Sugar Express® 4-10-40 is a highly refined fertilizer with the appropriate ratio of phosphorus and potassium designed to be used close to harvest.
Systemic Pesticide Applications
Plant health can be negatively impacted by pests in the environment in several different ways. Each of these potential pests also require their own unique solution for control. Exit® has been purposefully formulated to be combined with pesticides that depend upon rapid uptake and translocation of the active ingredient. Pesticides such as those with systemic or translaminar activity as well as those with hormonal or plant growth regulator effects are particularly well suited for tank mixing with Exit®. The unique ability to increase the speed at which translocation occurs is what defines Exit®.
Exit®
Exit® is an activator-adjuvant comprising a blend of premium-quality esterified seed oil with a proprietary surfactant and humectant system.
Post-Harvest
Fertility applications made post-harvest have one key objective, which is to lay the foundation for a successful season the next year. Going into dormancy, perennial crops such as almonds work to develop and store nutrients within their tissue for use the following year. Providing a healthy amount of phosphorus and potassium, Fertigard™ helps to build up nutrient storage in the wood to be available for return bud bloom the next season. This helps to rebuild nutrients that were used up over the course of the growing season.
