Tensiometer‐based irrigation scheduling and water use efficiency of field‐grown strawberries

In recent decades, moisture‐based subsurface drip irrigation management strategies lead to water savings while maintaining strawberry yields in open fields. Most soils in the Québec City area are characterized by a high proportion of schist fragments and high hydraulic conductivity, causing substantial water losses following irrigation. Until now, little was known about the efficiency of soil‐moisture‐based irrigation strategies used on...
