"Focus on Potato"of the Plant Management Network has published a new webcast:

“Early Season Irrigation Management of Potato.”

Careful irrigation is required to avoid crop water stress and produce high-yielding, high quality potatoes.

To help growers and consultants achieve this end, Focus on Potato, a crop science resource for growers and consultants in the potato industry, has published its latest webcast, titled “Early Season Irrigation Management of Potato.”

This 56-minute presentation, authored by Howard Neibling, Professor of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at the University of Idaho, explains a method of pre-season irrigation planning to evaluate the adequacy of irrigation system capacity under the viewer's specific climate and soil conditions for normal and unusually high water-use years.

And for marginal or inadequate systems, suggestions are given for pre-season equipment changes and water management strategies to produce a high yield and quality potato crop.

This webcast can be accessed without subscription until April 30, 2011
