2022 NutraDrip Grower Agronomy Meeting

2nd Speaker: Tim Wolf, Netafim

Tim Wolf with Netafim discusses best practices for subsurface drip irrigation, and how that is foundational for managing your crop and irrigation to the fullest potential.

Soil moisture probes

• used for when to irrigate

• best placement for data collection

• how to read the data and understand when to irrigate

Nutrient uptake

• schedule fertigation (giving the crop what it needs when or before it needs it through your subsurface drip irrigation system)

• don't get behind

Regular tissue samples

• Keep us out of the ditch

• look for trends, what are targets, etc.

What is the possibility for subsurface drip irrigation (SDI)?
