Watering artichokes
Artichokes require frequent irrigation during the active growing periods. Too little water, especially
during the bud development period, results in poorly developed buds. Because artichokes are prone
to root rots, avoid soil saturation, especially around the crown.
Drip or furrow irrigation on raised beds, instead of using sprinklers, will keep your soils well
drained and protect against rot. |
