2022 AlmondBeat: Prepare for Hull-split by listening to your trees - and the soil
In California and the northern hemisphere, nut fill has finished for most varieties of almonds, and hull split strategies are in place to get ready for harvest. Good hull split strategy is crucial for achieving a uniform hull split in each block, leading to more efficient shakes while avoiding navel orangeworm (NOW) and the costly spray programs required to manage it. During hull-split, many ...
