Grapevine management options in times of drought and water restrictions -

SA Wine Industry Association and Scholefield Robinson pdf

Wine growing regions in southern Australia generally have Winter and Spring dominant rainfall with drier conditions in Summer and Autumn.

A drought will normally result in vines requiring more water than is available from rainfall, and stress will occur.

A dry winter may require irrigation in early spring, using valuable water resources earlier in the growing season.

Managing citrus orchards with less water - NSW DPI factsheet pdf

In situations of reduced water availability it can sometimes be more profitable to provide optimum water to part of an orchard, and produce good marketable fruit, rather than watering the whole orchard and producing small unmarketable fruit. Managing your citrus orchard with a reduced water allocation requires planning. The following information outlines a number of management options and strategies that can be used in developing a plan of action.
