Figure 2. Orchard Water Requirement and applied irrigation

Figure 2.  Summary of average orchard water requirement (ET-rain) and applied irrigation for all delayed irrigation tests to date (2014 – 2020). Daily CIMIS values for orchard water requirements were calculated beginning on April 1, based on current walnut crop coefficients, for each site and year, and averaged. Irrigation applied to all delayed treatments for each site and year were averaged for 10 day periods over the same seasons.
