YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Marcos Moore is an experienced agronomist who focuses on making sure how to make the most out of water in agriculture by pushing salt away from the produce.
He explains that salt damages the plant by dehydrating and stunting the crop.
Moore is teaching farmers how to use water to push this salt away.
“We want to be able to use the water quickly and get it across the field as quickly as possible and the different irrigation systems or different irrigation schemes will affect salt mitigation,” says Moore.
Moore’s main message is to master moving the water to save your harvest.
