This is the second year for BVT almond trials as farmers require multi-year data under local conditions for proof of efficacy.

Key Points: 
  • This is the second year for BVT almond trials as farmers require multi-year data under local conditions for proof of efficacy.
  • Four R&D trials are being conducted to gather further disease and nut rot data, and to determine nutmeal quality.
  • Across the eight trials, four varieties of almonds are being treated with BVT's proprietary Vectorite with CR-7 (Clonostachys rosea CR-7) biological fungicide, applied with bee vectoring.
  • At minimum, the yield data obtained will be extremely valuable in initiating the sales process with almond growers.
