Water Movement Through Soil – Make Every Drop Count

Part of the Getting into the Weed: Dialing in Irrigation Webinar Series, join Perennia’s Soil Specialist, Amy Sangster and Odette Ménard, Soil and Water Conservation Advisor, Regional office of Montérégie, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, for the upcoming session Water Movement Through Soil – Make Every Drop Count.

SESSION DESCRIPTION:

Traditionally, Nova Scotia has been blessed with adequate rainfall distribution throughout the growing session. In recent years, the frequency of dry periods in the growing session where rainfall limits crop production is growing. The use of irrigation is increasingly being used to bridge these dry periods in cropping systems where traditionally, it was less common. However, not every soil is created equal and not every soil will respond the same way to irrigation. We will discuss inherent soil properties and what you need to know about your soil to make every drop count during this session.

SPEAKER INFORMATION:

Odette is an expert in soil conservation. She holds a bachelor’s degree in agricultural engineering, a master’s degree in engineering sciences (specializing in building structures) and a master’s degree in business administration. She is known widely for her work through the Soil Conservation Council of Canada as a Canadian leader in soil and water conservation.
