Overwatering with Bruce Lampinen

Dr. Bruce Lampinen (UC Davis) discusses the problem of overwatering in walnut and almond orchards, the health implications and how irrigation can be managed with root health in mind.

We have previous episode on the pressure chamber and start of irrigation in walnut. As well as on keeping root health in mind when irrigating. On SacValleyOrchards we have an article on the multiple approaches to timing the start of irrigation in almond, as well as the research in walnut.
