Irrigation is the best method to establish large trees rapidly and it uses countering excessive dry conditions for filling the stage for the production. In summer, 60 cm of the soil must dry on the other side deeper soil may not dry until the end of summer. Then, it fills the shell of the nut from December to February accordingly. So, irrigation is not necessary from the surface of the soil in summer. In cooler climates, irrigation is not necessary. In warmer climates with hot summers and long periods without rain, applying 30 litres of water per tree every 3-4 weeks without rain and mulching well is effective. Drip irrigation system produces bigger trees, more nuts sooner, fuller and heavier kernels. Drip irrigation is increasingly being adopted. Hazelnut trees must be irrigated every year during the periods of low rainfall.
