A Walnut garden is one of the most profitable investments in Turkey currently. You do notneed to do any farming yourself, to be part of such a good investment. Our professional Walnut Garden management service will establish a Walnut Garden on your purchased land, then manage the whole process for you.
Agrolidya have numerous Walnut Garden investment opportunities available for prospective investors. You can personally choose any suitable land that we have. We will advise you on your choice, ensuring you select the best land available. Before choosing the land, we will consult with you to consider the location, soil structure, water conditions, electricity supply and the required labor. We will ensure that the land purchased can achieve the maximum income from the minimum cost.
Our expert team carry out a detailed feasibility study before work on the land commences. They will ensure that the ground is perfect for producing top-quality Walnuts.
Any bushes or trees within the boundaries of the land are cleared and any large stones, or boulders, that prevent the tractor from working are removed.
Once the clearing process is complete, deep plowing will commence. The land will be plowed several times for soil thinning purposes. Any additional stones that come to the surface will be removed. This process will ensure the planted seedlings grow faster.
Depending on terrain and location, the saplings will be planted with the correct spacing and direction. Marking is either done manually or by GPS.
If open-rooted saplings are to be planted, the pits are dug with a scoop. If tubed seedlings are to be planted, they will be done with a shovel. We will consider the soil fineness, depth and irrigation available before deciding on the type of seedlings to be planted. The results of the earlier tillage will be the deciding factor.
The underground irrigation pipeline system can be laid, before or after planting. After planting, the dripper pipes are laid on the rows of saplings.
This process should be done before, or just after planting. This prevents people, or animals from entering the Walnut garden.
Our expert team from Agrolidya provide ongoing care for the professionally established Walnut Garden. Our agricultural engineers perform ongoing irrigation, fertilization, weeding and pest control. Our process is in line with a proven successful growth program.
Depending on the weather and fertilizer needs, the irrigation program starts in April and is an important issue, which needs great attention. Watering the garden regularly is vital for the development of seedlings. Excessive irrigation can cause root rot and the death of the seedlings, while insufficient irrigation causes stress and slows down the growth of the plant. Therefore, our expert Agricultural Engineer is fully engaged throughout, to ensure the correct irrigation tasks are completed.
Fertilization is another critical issue alongside irrigation. The perfect fertilization program is crucial for the development of the Walnut garden. It is vital that the program is prepared by our expert Agricultural Engineer. This includes observing the plants growth after each fertilization. The plant nutrients must be delivered to the plant in the best way, either from the leaves, or the root. Irrigation and fertilization programs areimportant in the plants development, to ensure we reach the harvest target in the 4th year.
In the early years, controlling weeds is one of the most time consuming processes in a Walnut Garden. Because of the excessive water and fertilizer being used, weeds not removed in time, can grow faster than Walnuts. For this reason, weeds need to be removed constantly. This continuous struggle can be done with tillage or weed pesticides. In the fight against weeds, it is necessary to take great care not to harm the Walnuts.
The harvest is the result from years of labor and investment in the Walnut garden. At the outset, the objective is to harvest at least 60-70% of the land in its 4th year. By following our successful process, by providing continual high maintenance, the ultimate goal is always to get the best harvest in our 4th year.Chandler Walnut Gardens usually start in the last week of September and the harvest must be done as quickly as possible. The more successfully this process is managed, the higher quality of the fruit will come to the market. In the Chandler Walnut variety, the whiter the inner fruit is dried, the higher the market value.
Selling the matured Walnuts most cost effectively is very important for our investors. We have created a domestic and international sales network, to ensure we get the highest reward for our efforts. Thanks to our sales expertise and exclusive export deals, we can sell the Saplings, Walnuts, Almonds, Pistachios, and Olives at the best market prices.
