After a winter that was slightly wetter than average, the 2021 growing season will start with a drier period. Groundwater levels are falling rapidly in various areas.

Due to the recent frost period, the structure of the soil is predominantly good for making a good seed and planting bed. Irrigation is then not necessary for this. If necessary, a starting dose may be necessary to allow the seeds to germinate. The soil moisture sensors from RMA help to determine the right time and the right amount of watering.

In addition to efficient irrigation, soil moisture sensors also help to use water sparingly. The latter is increasingly important in times of persistent drought.
