Accurate water use and soil salinity measurements are critical for managing irrigation requirements and maintaining soil health in today’s cropping systems. To address water challenges in desert agriculture, YCEDA is coordinating a large multi-institution irrigation and soil salinity management study. Collaborating scientists from the University of Arizona, University of Maryland, and USDA presented a breakout session at the 2019 Southwest Ag Summit.
