RELATED INFORMATION

Irrigation Management

Drought Irrigation Strategies

Almond growers can now go to a new UC Division of Ag and Natural Resources Web site to access an extensive compilation of drought-related water management and irrigation strategies developed by UC researchers, farm advisors and extension specialists. Thanks to substantial funding by the Almond Board of California, almonds are the first crop for which information is available.

First Results from Drought Research

A drought management research project funded by the Almond Board is being conducted at the Nickels Soil Lab in Arbuckle. Long-term tree responses to different irrigation levels, various canopy reduction scenarios and actual almond water requirements for survival are being investigated in a 20-year-old orchard where the soil is gravelly and shallow. Click here to view the first-season update presented at the 2009 Almond Industry Conference.
