The Almond in California by R. H. Taylor
"The Almond in California" by R. H. Taylor is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work provides a comprehensive analysis of almond cultivation in California, emphasizing agricultural practices, variations in yearly production, and the potential challenges faced by almond growers. The book appears to target farmers, horticulturists, and agricultural students interested in the economics and science of almond production. At the start of the publication, Taylor introduces the
almond tree's characteristics and its significant role in California's agricultural economy, outlining that California produces over 98% of the United States' almond supply. He discusses almond tree growth patterns, environmental needs, types of almonds, and critical agricultural practices, including soil and climate preferences. The introduction sets the stage for deeper insights into the management of almond orchards, addressing topics such as pollination, fertilization, and disease control, all essential for optimizing production and ensuring market viability.
