It takes into account early bloom and periods of continuous cool weather, allowing adjustments in treatment timings. The mean air temperature model predicts colonization of blossoms by the bacterium, based on daily air temperatures. Use the models in conjunction with weather data gathered and stored in the UC IPM weather database.

Spots on young leaves usually fall out, leaving a hole (the shot hole); older leaves retain their lesions. Fruit spots are small with purplish margins, slightly corky, and raised. Spots are found on the upper surface of fruit with respect to the way it hangs on trees. Heavy infection of young fruit may cause fruit drop or distortion and gumming

Locusts are fast-growing deciduous trees and shrubs. Leaves are divided into many rounded leaflets. Sweet pea-shaped flowers bloom in clusters from spring to early summer. Flowers are white or pink. Beanlike pods form after bloom. Locust leaves, seeds, and bark are poisonous if ingested. Trees have aggressive roots and often spread by suckers.

Rust occurs sporadically throughout almond-growing areas in California. The development of rust is favored by humid conditions (e.g., orchards near rivers or streams), and the disease becomes worse when rain occurs in late spring and summer. Excessive levels of nitrogen are also known to increase the tree''s susceptibility.
Definition of IPM. IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed
The UC model recommends the first spray when bloom and mean temperatures reach 62°F in March, 60°F in April, and 58°F in May. This model recommends treating every 3 to 5 days until the end of rattail bloom regardless of changes in weather that would inhibit bacterial growth and infection. Newer degree-hour models are based on assessing
