This chapter focuses on the importance of site selection and preparation, pollen sources, pollinators, tree support, drainage and irrigation, soil fertility and organic matter and weed management, among others, on the establishment and management of a cherry orchard.
Two configurations of subsurface drip were installed 16 inches deep: a single lateral line, 2 feet from the tree row, and two lateral lines per tree row, each 4 feet from the trees. Summer weeds grow according to the wetting patterns of the microirrigation patterns. The microsprinklers in the foreground encourage more weeds than the subsurface drip in the back.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
