Hortau to Discuss Plant Stress and Irrigation Management at Drought and Irrigation Conservation Conference

Water issues and the drought’s negative impact on crop production will be the main topics of discussion at the 2014 Drought and Irrigation Conservation Conference on Thursday at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds.

Hortau, a global leader in wireless, web-based irrigation management, will be on hand at the event to discuss the stresses a drought puts on plants and trees, and how soil tension technologies can help growers improve yield and cut irrigation costs by as much as 25-30% in the face of the today's water issues.
