Manage Water Costs by Assessing Your Irrigation System
It’s important to manage the costs of irrigating avocado trees in order to be a successful California avocado grower. To ensure your irrigation is not wasting water resources, consider the following avocado cultural management practices.
- Cap off sprinklers to diseased and damaged trees
- Stump canopied trees
- Thin crowded groves before they canopy over
- Top-work over from an undesirable to a desirable variety
- Apply mulch and remove weeds
- Keep skirts low on the trees
- Check and recheck your irrigation system for leaks
