Summerfruit NZ has engaged Primary Insight to undertake some practical irrigation research in four cherry orchards for the 2023-24 growing season.
As part of this, we would like to hear from cherry growers about how they currently schedule their irrigation.
1) How do you currently monitor your irrigation?
2) What triggers do you use to start and stop irrigation from bud burst to fruit set?
3) What triggers do you use to start and stop irrigation during fruit development?
4) What triggers do you use to start and stop irrigation during harvest?
5) What triggers do you use to start and stop irrigation post-harvest?
