About this episode

Franz Niederholzer discusses critical management decisions for almond growers ahead of the harvest.

UCCE Orchard Systems Advisor Franz Niederholzer joins MyAgLife to preview his upcoming Almond Day presentation at the Fresno Fairgrounds on June 3. As almond growers head into the critical pre-harvest period, small management decisions can have a big impact on both this year's crop and next year's yield potential. In this Almond Day preview, Franz Niederholzer discusses irrigation management, nutrient considerations, hull rot risk, orchard stress during summer heat and why growers should already be thinking about next season's crop. He also highlights one relatively inexpensive practice that can deliver a strong return on investment. Hear Franz's full presentation at Almond Day on June 3 at the Fresno Fairgrounds.
