Dear Subscribers,
Please see herebelow an article i the AgNet West News from California about
overhead irrigation and Conservation Agriculture.
The article quotes what Jeff Mitchel says about overhead irrigation and
Conservation Agriculture.

“Overall, we are very encouraged by these results, and they reflect the
experiences that many California farmers have recently been having with
overhead irrigation systems,” said lead author Jeff Mitchell
<http://ucanr.emsend7lnk.com/lt.php?s=9a6b81c320d289b2c05e079e565e812d&i=269A313A1A2500>,
UC Cooperative Extension specialist. “We’ve confirmed that overhead
irrigation systems work in California. We also concluded that there are
opportunities to get even better results with more research and experience,
particularly when overhead irrigation is coupled with practices that
preserve crop residues and rely on reduced tillage."
“We’re committed to continuing our work on the whole package – reduced
tillage, preserving residue, improving water infiltration, improving soil
water-holding capacity and increasing productivity uniformity – a system
that we refer to as conservation agriculture,” Mitchell said. “We are
working to encourage adoption of conservation agriculture in crops where
viability of the system is well established, and facilitate the research
and innovation needed to optimize conservation agriculture production in
additional crops.”
Thank you Hassan for sharing.
