Pulling the trigger for the start of irrigation in the spring: Too much too soon for walnuts?

Table 3. Irrigation

Table 3. Average irrigation start date (and equivalent days after leafout), seasonal irrigation applied in inches (and equivalent percent of the seasonal irrigation requirement, as in Table 1), yield, percent edible yield, relative value, and crop relative value (and equivalent percent of the control treatment). Relative value is an index combining the two main economic drivers of walnut value (percent edible yield and kernel color), and crop relative value is Yield x Relative value.
