Horticultural performance of ‘Marinada’ and ‘Vairo’ almond cultivars grown on a genetically diverse set of rootstocks
(Elsevier, 2019-06-14)
Evolution of almond planted area and production has been mainly due to the arrival of new cultivars and rootstocks that have contributed to improve agronomic characters such as yield, precocity and ...
Evaluation of Fungicides and Application Strategies for the Management of the Red Leaf Blotch Disease of Almond
(MDPI, 2022-06-04)
Red leaf blotch (RLB) of almond, caused by Polystigma amygdalinum, is an important foliar
disease of this nut tree in the Mediterranean basin and especially in Spain. In recent years, the
control of ...
Blooming under Mediterranean Climate: Estimating Cultivar-Specific Chill and Heat Requirements of Almond and Apple Trees Using a Statistical Approach
(MDPI, 2019-11-15)
Climate change, and specifically global temperature increase, is expected to alter plant
phenology. Temperate deciduous fruit trees have cultivar-specific chill and heat requirements
to break dormancy ...
Evaluation of transpiration in different almond production systems with two-source energy balance models from UAV thermal and multispectral imagery
(Springer, 2023-10-31)
A growing number of intensive irrigated production systems of the almond crop have been established in recent years. However, there is little information regarding the crop water requirements. Remote ...
Modeling the airborne inoculum of Polystigma amygdalinum to optimize fungicide programs against almond red leaf blotch
(American Phytopathological Society, 2023-09-27)
Red leaf blotch (RLB) of almond, caused by the ascomycete Polystigma amygdalinum, is a severe foliar disease endemic in the Mediterranean Basin and Middle East regions. Airborne ascospores of P. amygdalinum ...
Survey of Oomycetes Associated with Root and Crown Rot of Almond in Spain and Pathogenicity of Phytophthora niederhauserii and Phytopythium vexans to ‘Garnem’ Rootstock
(MDPI, 2022-02-18)
From 2018 to 2020, surveys of oomycetes associated with root and crown rot of almond
(Prunus dulcis) were conducted on diseased young almond trees in commercial orchards and nurseries
in six provinces ...
Identification and characterization of Diaporthe spp. associated with twig cankers and shoot blight of almonds in Spain
(MDPI, 2020-07-23)
Two hundred and twenty-five Diaporthe isolates were collected from 2005 to 2019 in almond orchards showing twig cankers and shoot blight symptoms in five different regions across Spain. Multilocus DNA ...
Susceptibility of Almond (Prunus dulcis) Cultivars to Twig Canker and Shoot Blight Caused by Diaporthe amygdali
(American Phytopathological Society, 2022-06-13)
Twenty-five almond cultivars were assessed for susceptibility to Diaporthe amygdali, causal agent of twig canker and shoot blight disease. In laboratory experiments, growing twigs were inoculated with ...
Remote Sensing Energy Balance Model for the Assessment of Crop Evapotranspiration and Water Status in an Almond Rootstock Collection
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-10)
One of the objectives of many studies conducted by breeding programs is to characterize and select rootstocks well-adapted to drought conditions. In recent years, field high-throughput phenotyping methods ...
Airborne inoculum dynamics of Polystigma amygdalinum and progression of almond red leaf blotch disease in Catalonia, NE Spain
(Wiley, 2023-02-27)
The dynamics of airborne ascospores and disease progress of red leaf blotch (RLB) of almond, caused by Polystigma amygdalinum, and their correlations with weather variables were studied from 2019 to ...
