Implementation of efficient irrigation management for a sustainable agriculture (LIFE+ IRRIMAN)

Description:

The project aims to implement, demonstrate, and disseminate an efficient irrigation management schedule for three areas Spain (two in the Segura Basin and on in the Guadalquivir basin). A sustainable irrigation strategy for with woody crops in Mediterranean agro-ecosystems will be based on reduction of water supply during non-critical periods, the covering of water needs during critical periods and maximising yields per unit of applied water.

The project will implement demonstration plots where sustainable irrigation protocols will be applied. Different cropping zones will be selected with the most representative fruit trees, including peach, table grapes, citrus, apricot, early apricot and almond.
