Overview
Citrus orchards in Kern County are managed under some of the warmest conditions in California, with groves spread across areas near Bakersfield, Arvin, and Lamont, where irrigation reliability and heat management are central to orchard performance. Citrus growers operate in an environment where water scheduling, salinity control, and canopy protection directly impact fruit size, color, and maturity.
Citrus management in Bakersfield emphasizes disciplined irrigation strategies, nutrition programs designed for sustained heat, and pest control timed around rapid growth cycles. Harvest preparation and execution must align with packing and hauling logistics, especially during peak periods when labor and equipment are in high demand. Agnomy provides citrus farmers in Kern County with service providers who are familiar with high-heat orchard systems and can execute work efficiently without disrupting grove health or harvest flow.
