Sampling & Analysis A five-year fertigation trial of nitrogen and potassium treatments is underway in almond orchard in Kern Co. The trial consists in 12 fertilization treatments under Micro-sprinklers (Fan Jet) and Drip irrigation.

Sebastian Saa, Ph.D. candidate, collecting individual tree yield at one of the sampling orchards. Madera County. Objectives Determine the degree to which almond leaf nutrient status varies across a range of representative orchards and environments.
Susan Ustin ShuHua Chen, Quinn Hart, Kyaw Tha Paw U, Matthias Falk, Liyi Xu Evapotranspiration (ET) describes the movement of water into the atmosphere, comprised of water evaporated from surfaces, and water released from vegetation as vapor through leaf openings (stomates).
Current research involves improvements to allow the models to run at higher spatial resolutionthat is, improve clarity, so the model can be accurately applied to smaller physical blocks. The result will be a model to better meet the irrigation scheduling needs of nut tree farmers.
Patrick Brown and Muhammad Ismail Siddiqui The objectives of our work with pistachio are to improve the practice, use and utility of leaf sampling, develop a phenology and yield based nutrient model.
It is important to establish spatial patterns of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in orchards, and to assess whether the quantity of these emmissions emitted might be substantially influenced by the microirrigation system used.
Experiments were conducted for both almond and pistachio. Almond leaves were collected on two dates in 2008 and four dates in 2009. Samples were taken from a Kern County orchard where a four-level N fertigation trial was being conducted, thus a wide range of leaf N concentration was expected.
