Telemetry Units

The Tri County Pecan Demonstration team is working to monitor moisture in pecans as we move into the dog days of summer. Pecan trees use 80 gallons of water a day at a minimum. As the heat increases and rain decreases the use of moisture sensors is vital for a successful pecan crop. The technology being used and the research in irrigation helps producers adjust watering to keep the pecan crop maturing at a suitable pace.
