Optimising Water Management in Young Almond Orchards with Heavy Soils
<p>This podcast presents insights adopted from an article published in the Irrigation Research Extension Committee’s Farmers’ Newsletter, 210, Spring 2023, titled: Optimising Water Management in Young Almond Orchards with Heavy Soils, by Carlos Ballester, Rodrigo Filev-Maia and John Hornbuckle (Deakin University).</p> <p>Given water is a critical resource for food production in Australia — and the Riverina in particular — practices for increasing drought resilience are of great importance.</p> <p>This is why deficit irrigation strategies have been designed for many crops to maximise productivity with reduced irrigation water.</p> <p>In almonds, these strategies have been mostly designed for loamy soils, often based on a percentage reduction of the potential water use of plants.</p> <p>So, how do you optimise water management in young almond orchards with <b>heavy</b> soil typical of the Riverina?</p> <p>To answer the question, a summer deficit irrigation strategy to grow almond trees with less water was tested in three-year-old trees of Shasta and Nonpareil varieties.</p> <p>Listen in to hear more about the trial.</p>
