Warm Season Phytophthora in Almond with Jim Adaskaveg (2025)

Phytophthora isn’t just an early season problem anymore. On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Jim Adaskveg (UC Riverside) talks warm season phytophthora management in almond. You can round out your phytophthora expertise by listening to earlier episodes with Dr. Greg Browne (USDA) covering Phytophthora in almond and walnut orchards, as well as an episode with Dr. Florent Trouillas on aerial phytophthora in almonds.

Mention of a pesticide does not constitute a pesticide recommendation, merely the sharing of research results. Consult your PCA and read the pesticide label. The label is law.
