Spain: Almond production remains stable in the long term, despite irrigation deficits


Spain: Almond production remains stable in the long term, despite irrigation deficits
A study by the Department of Agronomy of the UCO, IFAPA and the IAS - CSIC analyses production between 2014 and 2019.
Spain boasts the largest cultivated area of almond trees in the world, with more than 700,000 ha (MAPA, 2018), but ranks third in terms of production. How can this be? Actually, it s easy to explain: most of the country s cultivated area of almond trees is comprised of traditional rainfed orchards and located in marginal areas featuring a low density of trees per hectare.
Over the last decade, however, the nut s surging prices have given rise to intensive almond tree plantations characterized by a high density of trees per hectare and the employment of fertilisation and irrigation, yielding endless rows of white when the trees are in bloom. Knowing what the future of these plantations will be like in a country where the availability of water for irrigation is limited i ....

Knowing what the future of these plantations will be like in a country where the availability of water for irrigation is limited is one of the main tasks tackled by agronomic research. ....
