Water & Irrigation Advice

It is no gain saying that water remains an important but a highly competitive resource. Today, water health, use efficiency and waste reduction is key in ensuring healthy plant growth and development. Major issues impacting water health in plant production can be classified into biological (e.g. pathogenic & non-pathogenic organisms) and chemical (e.g. pH, salinity, nutrient load etc.) with both having a significant relationship.
