Tree Nut Insect Challenges

Peach Twig Borer

Peach Twig Borer is a common pest that primarily affects stone fruit trees. The larvae of the Peach Twig Borer bore into the twigs and shoots of the host tree to feed. Control of Peach Twig Borer can be challenging due to the concealed nature of the larvae within the twigs and fruit.

Leafroller

Leafrollers may directly damage fruits by feeding on their surfaces or tunneling into them. This can result in cosmetic damage, making the fruits unattractive for sale in fresh markets. Tunnels created by leafroller larvae may also provide entry points for pathogens, leading to fruit rot and decay.

Navel Orangeworm

The Navel Orangeworm is a major pest that primarily affects nut crops, particularly almonds, pistachios, and walnuts. Navel orangeworm larvae bore into the nuts to feed, causing direct damage. Infestations of navel orangeworm can result in significant yield losses for nut crops.

Nematode Management

Nematode Nemesis

Nematodes attack tree roots, which do not grow back, and restrict the tree’s ability to take up water and nutrients. With the affected trees stunted and weak, they may show a lack of vigor and reduced cropping. Nematode damage also predisposes trees to other issues, such as sunburn, branch wilt, flatheaded borer and deep bark canker.¹ By controlling nematodes and limiting the issues they cause, you may increase your yield potential and have more marketable crops.
