Description
Evaluation of the agronomic performance of the almond tree, cultivated at high density in organic production, using a statistical block design to determine: production, yield and almond quality.
Contextual description
Traditionally grown in dryland conditions, the almond tree shows high potential in intensive irrigated systems, especially in organic farming. In Navarre, there are a large number of abandoned orchards that could be transformed into profitable and sustainable crops. This project analyzes the viability of intensive systems under organic and water-reduction conditions, evaluating the performance of different rootstocks and deficit irrigation strategies on the Belona variety developed by CITA.
Results
Identification of the most efficient rootstocks adapted to deficit irrigation in organic production. Proper establishment of a high-density orchard using different rootstocks. Useful knowledge for transforming almond orchards from extensive to more profitable systems.
