Whether natural or manufactured, every almond from Campos Brothers Farms is
individually handled to your exact specification. Winter Pruning Growing quality California almonds is a year-round job. Winter pruning is important because eliminating non-producing branches and shaping trees to take full advantage of sunlight and water are small, but important steps that make a big difference in almond quality and consistency.
Irrigation Orchards are irrigated as efficiently and effectively as possible with a system of computer-controlled micro-sprayers to provide each tree with the proper amount of water at exactly the right moment based on temperature, timing, evaporation and conversion information.
Our system enables us to naturally inhibit weed growth in rows and between trees to reduce the number of harmful pests while assuring the more selective application of fertilizers, minerals and other nutrients.
Integrated Pest Management Computerized irrigation to individual trees also supports our Integrated Pest management (IPM) program by enabling selective use of minimal pesticides in a coordinated effort with our trapping and monitoring efforts that take advantage of environmentally friendly natural attractants, predatory insects and pheromones. |
