Cherry Grower Irrigation Survey

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