Effect of Irrigation Management on Papaya Growth & Physiology 2005 to 2007
Multidisciplinary team from UF-TREC and UF-Gainesville are evaluating different automated irrigation treatments: grower-control, ET or evapotranspiration, soil moisture based 10 cbar, soil moisture based 15 cbar, and soil moisture based 25 cbar. We are using switching tensiometers to monitor and control soil moisture based treatments.
