The California Walnut Board & Commission

EXTENDS Y UR REACH

In 2020–2021, California Walnuts marketed the largest crop on record with: U.S. retail campaigns that increased sales by an average of 22.5% at 10,000+ stores 1,700+ new retailers in International Markets Breakthrough health research around longevity and heart health to sustain consumer interest Investment in industry-advancing production and postharvest research methods to help increase profitability and maintain competitiveness Advocacy for inclusion to access $85M+ in government dollars for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program A Marketing Order that worked harder for the industry by suspending outdated mandatory inspections that eliminates burdens and provides cost savings

WE’VE GONE NUTS. When leaf and ßower buds open more consistently, youÕll see the difference all the way to the bottom line.

SYNCHRONIZED BLOOM FOR BETTER POLLINATION FASTER START FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS

While we’re waiting on California registration for Walnuts, you can plan ahead for Dormex for next season. Dormex is applied just once, 4 weeks ahead of natural bud break, to help leaf and flower buds open more consistently.

The faster start helps your crop grow with more uniformity.

Supplies are limited, so contact your distributor to order early.

ADVERTORIAL

A Soil Amendment for the 21st Century

FOR MANY CALIFORNIA GROWERS, accumulation of salts in the crop

Solubility - Standard solution grade gypsum has a solubility of 2.41 grams per liter of water. This means that gypsum broadcast applied at a one ton per acre rate would require 100,000 gallons of water (0.306 ac-ft) to fully dissolve. Additional irrigation water will be required for the calcium in gypsum to enter the soil solution - California rainfall is not sufficient. Placement – When irrigation water is used for leaching, it is important that the calcium soil amendment is applied exactly where water is applied,

root zone is a serious concern. Ironically, one of the main sources of these salts, irrigation water, is also the solution to the problem. Only water leaches salts from the root zone, which is why experts have preached about leaching requirements for many years. The question then becomes, how can the efficiency of water applied for leaching be improved? The answer, in part, is soluble calcium.

When calcium is added to sodium affected soils, soil structure is greatly improved as the calcium displaces sodium from the soil exchange sites causing soil colloids to flocculate. Soil pore sizes then increase, and water can move more freely into and throughout the soil profile, carrying with it potentially harmful ions like sodium and chloride and lowering the overall soil electrical conductivity (EC). For decades, gypsum has been the product recommended to deliver calcium to soils, and while gypsum generally gets the job done, it has 3 major limitations: solubility, placement and timing.

when broadcasting gypsum a portion of the product will be applied outside of the irrigation wetting pattern rendering it useless. Timing – Most gypsum is fall applied, while this is useful when applied as part of a winter leaching program, the reality is that by the time the growing season arrives, most of the applied gypsum will have moved below the soil surface, so infiltration issues may return when crops need water most.

There is a better option.

CaTs (0-0-0-10S-6Ca) from Crop Vitality™ is a viable alternative for growers who want fast and effective sodium displacement. CaTs is a neutral to basic, chlorine-free, clear liquid soil amendment. The strengths of CaTs cover all of gypsum’s weaknesses. Solubility - The calcium in CaTs is soluble, so the calcium immediately interacts with soil colloids upon application. Placement - CaTs can be applied through all irrigation system types and goes where the water goes. Timing - Due to the liquid form of CaTs it can be applied whenever irrigation is running and requires no additional trips through the field.

THE BEST WAY TO MANAGE PATHOGENS BEFORE THEY BECOME AN ISSUE.

TriClor is chloropicrin based and can be used as a standalone or as a complement to Telone® depending on your orchard redevelopment needs. When targeting soil borne disease and nematodes, TriClor and Telone® can be applied in a single pass. This reduces application costs, promotes early root development, and improves soil health. For more information about TriClor and Telone or to schedule an application contact TriCal, Inc.
