Summary: | [...]farmers are being forced to implement better irrigation management practices, and they are turning to precision agriculture to accomplish this. [...]leaf stomata open in the presence of sunlight when a tree is happy with the amount of water it's receiving, and evaporation from the stomata cools the leaf surface. [...]water applied in one part of an orchard may be received by trees at another nearby location, especially in orchards with rolling terrain. [...]precision irrigation is ideally applied in an orchard divided into management zones, or areas that behave similarly because of their relatively uniform characteristics. |
