SUCCESS STORIES

“By closely monitoring the soil moisture trends through the profile on our iPads and mobile phones, we were able to extend our irrigation cycle from every 7-9 days to every 12-15 days. This helped us save around 30% to 40% on water. ” — Larry Peltzer, LRP Orange Co., Visalia, CA

“When you deficit irrigate, you can get more even drying across the orchard and nuts start to crack more uniformly. But if you stress a little too much, you start to hurt the kernel size. It is a very fine balance. To manage this well, you need precise tools like the ClimateMinder system. We religiously follow our soil moisture data versus the management boundaries we set. We do ground truthing and verify the data with pressure bomb to make sure we are following the right thresholds. We are very confident with our ClimateMinder system and the soil moisture readings collected. As a result, we are more efficient with our water application” – Bob Vierra, Vierra Brothers Co., Maxwell, CA
