Rating: 5 = excellent and consistent, 4 = good and reliable, 3 = moderate and variable, 2 = limited and/or erratic, 1 = minimal and often ineffective,
0 = ineffective, NL = not on label, and ND = no data.
| * | Registration pending in California. |
| ** | Not registered, label withdrawn or inactive in California. |
| 1 | Alphabetically arranged organic treatments. Note that kasugamycin is a fermentation (natural) product, but not an organic treatment. |
| 2 | FRAC group numbers are also provided as BM- or P-number codes (NC = not coded in FRAC). In general, sulfur compounds are fungicidal and may affect applications of fungal biocontrols (e.g., Botector); whereas copper may affect applications of bacterial biocontrols (e.g., Actinovate, Double Nickel 55, and Serenade). Rotations must consider these factors. |
| 3 | Sodium lauryl sulfate is not organically approved for crop production (synthetic substance approved for noncrop areas); All Phase is not organic. Cinnacure, PlantShield and Vintec do not have OMRI/WSDA certification and do not claim to be compliant, but their active ingredients are allowed for organic production. |
| 4 | Alternaria leaf spot caused by Alternaria alternata and A. arborescens. |
| 5 | Hull rot ratings are for the disease caused by Rhizopus stolonifer. |
| 6 | PM refers to a powdery mildew disease. |
| 7 | Labeled for Eutypa sp., Botryosphaeria sp., Cytospora sp., and other trunk diseases of almond. |
