Soil Management

Preparing the land for planting should include:

levelling of the land to a relatively even surface with little compaction
drainage and irrigation installation
gravel/rock removal
weed management through cultivation and herbicide application in the season before planting. Care must be exercised to not plant into soils with recent applications of residual herbicides.
additional soil amendments based on soil test results
ground cover to prevent soil erosion and reduce weed competition
inter-row considerations preparation for an alternate crop while hazelnut trees are growing to first harvest
