Research funded by the Almond Board of California (ABC) over several years has shown the proper timing and amount of irrigation is of prime importance to both yield and pest management considerations later in the season. Too little moisture causing significant post-harvest stress affects fruit set in the subsequent season, but on the other hand, regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) timed to stress trees at the onset of hull split reduces the incidence of hull rot. Deficit irrigation also results in a more uniform hull split leading to earlier harvest; the latter can help minimize crop exposure to late season navel orangeworm (NOW) flights. ...
