Measuring and Managing Soil Moisture for Better Irrigation
Measuring and Managing Soil Moisture for Better Irrigation
Effective irrigation begins with understanding what is happening in the root zone. Drawing on examples from common growing media and watering methods, this session explores how water moves through the medium and how growers can measure it. We’ll look at what different readings tell us, how to interpret them in context, and how to set useful targets for making better irrigation decisions.
