Characterisation of avocado and asparagus farms in the Chavimochic irrigation project in La Libertad, Peru

The Chavimochic irrigation project is one of the leading projects in Peru. In this project, irrigation water is derived from the Santa river to irrigate the valleys of Chao, Viru, and Moche, including desert zones between valleys. In this study, we aimed to characterise the Hass avocado and asparagu...

In this study, we aimed to characterise the Hass avocado and asparagus farms in desert areas of the Chavimochic irrigation project.
