Varying irrigation techniques are required in different soil types. Weather conditions also influence water requirements – for example, hot, dry conditions, increase leaf transpiration and therefore increase water demands. It is essential to monitor plant moisture levels to determine if modifications to the watering program are required. The NTS Water Stress Meter is an invaluable, convenient tool to quickly determine if a crop is water stressed.
