Regional Soil Moisture Comment for Nelson

 

Drying rapidly now accross all sites. The majority are irrigating, except the deeper Riwaka Silts and Moutere Clays.  Even those will start irrigating in the next week or two.  The only exception might be any grape sites on moutere clay.  But be cautious, especially with young vines.  We are at peak water use and soil moisture can dry very quickly at this time. 


Remember we can tailor your irrigation strategies on our graphs to match your goals.  This helps ensure our recommendations are aligned with your objectives for the block/property.

Please do not hesitate to contact me about our services or any changes you require.
