Abstract
Third-generation navel orangeworm (Amyelois transitella) damage to almond (Prunus dulcis Mill.) kernels is a serious problem in the California almond industry. An early harvest is one means of reducing losses and increasing crop quality. A successful early harvest was accomplished 2 to 3 weeks before the normal harvest date, with no perceptible effect on kernel quality. Percent hullsplit was correlated with nut removal, providing a field guide to acceptable maturity. Within defined limits, yield, drying rate, and hullability of early harvested almonds were acceptable.
