Almond Irrigation Best Practice Management Project

The Almond Irrigation BPM Project was made up of the following components:

• A drip irrigation performance audit of the Australian almond industry, covering 50 sites across the Australian almond industry (see project summary and results);
• Evaluation of system performance against other site data, and identification of key factors influencing drip irrigation performance (see project summary and results);
• Development of a drip irrigation evaluation tool, allowing growers to compare their system performance against the industry audit results;
• Assemble suitable drip irrigation information and resources to assist the almond industry to attain best practice management of drip irrigation.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the almond research and development levy and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.

DISCLAIMER: The Almond Board of Australia (ABA) is inviting you to contribute information about your farm’s irrigation system so the ABA can provide you with feedback on your system’s performance, and its performance relative to the Almond industry average. The ABA may aggregate irrigation system performance data, while ensuring any identifying information is removed, to monitor changes and further industry knowledge. For the same purpose, this aggregated information may be provided to third parties.

Providing the ABA with the requested information is not required by law. If you choose not to provide the information the ABA will be unable to provide feedback about your system’s performance. You may request access to your information at any time.
