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.

The Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture is a public-private partnership dedicated to bringing scientific research and the agriculture industry together to find solutions that bring value to stakeholders by addressing “on-the-ground” needs of Desert Ag production. We are working on #DesertAgSolutions for high priority issues.
