Weather conditions can have a big impact on how effectively irrigation water reaches your crop.

Wind: Strong winds can move water away from its intended application area, increasing wind drift and creating uneven coverage. This can make it harder to apply water uniformly across the field.

Heat: Hot, dry conditions can increase evaporation from the soil and crop surfaces. That means more water can be lost to the atmosphere before it benefits the crop.

So what can growers do?
Understanding weather conditions and adjusting irrigation practices accordingly can help improve water management. Factors such as irrigation timing, system performance, application uniformity, and soil moisture can all play a role in making the most of every drop.

At Landmark Irrigation, we’re here to help growers understand their irrigation systems and find solutions that support efficient, effective water management.
