Tree Nuts
Tree Nuts
Tree nuts represent any of the plethora of nut varieties we enjoy daily that are cultivated from trees. These include such crops as almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, pecans, cashews, and Brazil nuts. Grown in various regions throughout the world, these crops represent staple food items in a variety of cultures and cuisines.
Almonds
Almonds, originally native to southwestern Asia, are a member of the Rosaceae family. Preferring well-drained, deep, loamy soils, almonds can tolerate other types of soil conditions so long as it is well drained. Almond production is 100% dependent upon pollination to be successful—to the degree that adding honeybee hives to orchards has become a common practice. Though grown in seven countries, California produces approximately 80% of the world supply of almonds.
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 Set
Nut set is categorized as the critical transition period shortly after fertilization as plant processes switch over to nut formation and growth. A successful nut set is integral to a healthy crop at harvest. This process can be improved with the addition of Millerplex®. When nutrients are not available or are deficient in the soil, this can lead to a diminished or reduced set. The translocation and availability of key nutrients can dramatically impact the quality of harvest at the end of the growing cycle. Millerplex provides a balanced package of macronutrients, micronutrients, sea plant extracts, as well as our proprietary Express technology. These all combine to both supply key nutrients but also assist in enhancing the metabolism and translocation occurring within the plant.
Millerplex®
Millerplex® 3-3-3 is a kelp-based balanced fertilizer nutrient formula designed for soil or foliar use on crops.
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.
Bloom
Flower production and bloom is an integral part to the development of a healthy crop. For a healthy harvest to occur, a healthy and significant flowering must occur for fertilization. A number of key micronutrients are integral for flowering. When nutrients are not available or are deficient in the soil, this can lead to a diminished or reduced bloom. ZMC Express® provides a well-rounded mix of micronutrients to address numerous plant functions occurring during bloom. By delivering more than just one micronutrient, balanced interactions between nutrients within the plant are maintained.
ZMC Express®
ZMC Express® is a chelated EDTA blend of micronutrients.
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.

Hazelnuts
Hazelnuts, also called filbert, cobnut or hazel, are in the genus Corylus, which is comprised of about 15 species of shrubs and trees in the birch family (Betulaceae) and the edible nuts they produce. The plants are native to the north temperate zone. Turkey produces the most globally consumed hazelnuts. Hazelnut is a wind pollinated fruit; the pollen will then lay dormant for seven to eight months. The Willamette Valley in Oregon produces 99% of the US hazelnut crop.
Nut Set
Nut set is categorized as the critical transition period shortly after fertilization as plant processes switch over to nut formation and growth. A successful nut set is integral to a healthy crop at harvest. This process can be improved with the addition of Cytokin® at key timings. Cytokin® contains plant growth hormones responsible for cell division, cell enlargement, and various other plant growth functions. The nature-based plant growth regulator effects help to maximize conditions necessary for nut set and early development.

Flower Abortion
Flower production is an integral part to the development of a healthy crop. For a robust harvest to occur, a healthy and significant flowering is required for fertilization. Boron and zinc are critical nutrients necessary for flowering. When nutrients are not available or are deficient in the soil, the abortion of flower buds can occur as the plant tries to preserve nutrients. Boro Zinc™ supplements these critical micronutrients necessary for health and productive flowering.
Miller Boro Zinc™
Miller Boro Zinc™ 10-10 is a highly soluble specialty fertilizer.
Anthracnose
Anthracnose is a disease caused by several similar types of fungi. This disease favors high humidity and spores can be spread by splashing water. By combining a contact residual fungicide, such as chlorothalonil, with Nu-Film-P®, the fungicide is protected and held in place with our proprietary Pinolene® technology. This soft, thin film will also help to create a physical barrier against new spores that may land.
