Your irrigation water plays a bigger role in your operation than you might think.
In this episode, Cory Broad joins Dr. Karl Wyant to explore why irrigation water should be treated as an agronomic input. They discuss how water quality can affect the performance of your irrigation system, why that matters for irrigation efficiency and fertigation and what a water sample can reveal about your operation.
Plus, learn why routine water sampling matters, what distribution uniformity means, how common issues can affect irrigation performance and why proper flushing is an important part of maintaining an efficient irrigation system.
