Podcast: Irrigation Management for Almonds in a Drought Year

Irrigation
Written By

Owen Taylor (from AG Fax) and I created a podcast to discuss irrigation strategies for a drought year. Topics covered within the podcast include:

  1. How much water do almonds need?
  2. What happens if they do not receive the correct amount of water?
  3.  How do almonds manage reduction in water applications?
  4. Tools to help with managing irrigations.
  5. Managing irrigations with varying water availability. (85-100% of ETc, 65-85% of ETc, >65% of ETc)
  6. Using groundwater to subsidize water use.

This is my first podcast, so I hope you find it educational as well as useful. Click here. It is 20 minutes in length, but one can jump to their topic of interest.More information can be found at UC Drought Management Website.
