As the new season approaches, in this episode of The Growing Edge, staying ahead of potential threats can make all the difference. In this timely conversation with Valent USA Field Market Development Specialist Todd Burkdoll, growers get practical insight into what matters most right now in both citrus and almonds. From keeping orchard floors clean and managing winter weeds to smart frost protection strategies and early disease prevention, this discussion focuses on proactive steps that protect tree health before problems take hold.
For almond growers, the conversation turns to red leaf blotch, an emerging disease that expanded farther south than expected last year and can have serious impacts on leaf health and future yields if not detected early. Todd explains why early fungicide timing is critical, what research is showing, and how growers can build an effective program before infections become established.
Whether you are focused on citrus or almonds, this episode highlights why early action, prevention, and awareness are key to protecting yield and setting up a successful season.
