Almond trees are demanding when it comes to soil management and nutritional planning, especially under rainfed conditions or in farms with water limitations. Their productive behaviour largely depends on having an active, well-structured soil with good exchange capacity, able to sustain root activity throughout the entire cycle. A well-designed fertilization strategy is not only about replenishing nutrients, but about fostering an environment that stimulates budbreak, evens out flowering, supports fruit set and maintains the crop load without compromising the tree’s reserves. Proper fertilization management —both as base dressing and complementary applications— helps improve production regularity, water-use efficiency and the final quality of the fruit, particularly in areas with climatic stress or poor soils.
