Used ONLY to supplement rainfall in the event of risk of crop failure. This intentional, sub-par supplementation of irrigation events was implemented with the intention to see realistic expectations of crop viability. Many locations may or may not be irrigated on top of potential limitations in man-hours or infrastructure. Irrigation events using drip tape were completed in the event that soil moisture approached wilting points that were generalized upon point checks. .2m3/m3 (est. 20%) soil moisture on sunny, dry and/or windy days was considered approaching potential risk if visible stress signals observed at this level. Limited irrigation, particularly overhead, also reduced risk of disease onset which has been a frequent concern accross many species onsite.
