Soil Structure and Irrigation

In this video, a panel of industry experts discuss soil structure, irrigation, and water management strategies, emphasizing the importance of understanding soil variability, using tools like pressure chambers, and tailoring irrigation practices to different varieties.

After completing this course, learners will be able to:

• Overcome soil infiltration problems for better irrigation.
• Use cover crops to improve soil health and water retention.
• Benefit from whole orchard recycling to boost soil organic matter.
• Map and understand soil variability for better irrigation design.
• Improve irrigation efficiency by addressing distribution uniformity (DU).
• Use ET, soil moisture monitoring, and pressure chambers for better irrigation scheduling.
• Adjust irrigation practices based on soil type and crop needs.
