Rational irrigation management in arboriculture and viticulture The challenges of saving on water
Saving on water has become a major challenge for many production regions, both in France and a number of other countries. The climatologists predict that the temperature of the planet will increase by 2100. Agriculture, representing 70% of water consumption, must improve its water management techniques.
Optimal irrigation scheduling is necessary in order to guarantee the economic efficiency of the production processes. In fact, a miscalculation in the irrigation practice could result not only in a drop in yield and a slowdown in production growth but also a decrease in the eating quality. Precise irrigation management allows for improved root development, with an enhanced root exploration of the soil, which is advantageous for the extraction of the reserves of water.
