In the study, researchers looked at ways to help strawberry farmers in California use water more efficiently without hurting crop yields. They tested a new technology called wireless tensiometer and found that it can save water and money compared to traditional irrigation methods. By using wireless tensiometers to measure soil moisture levels, farmers could grow strawberries with less water and still get good harvests. The study also showed that using less water through a water-saving approach called deficit irrigation can be costly for strawberry growers. This research suggests that investing in advanced irrigation tools could be a smart and cost-effective way for farmers to improve water use and productivity when growing strawberries.
