Orchard & Commercial GrowingWhy should both sides of the mango root zone be monitored in a partial-drying trial?
The treatment depends on maintaining a meaningful wet-dry pattern, which cannot be confirmed from one convenient sensor. Rainfall, roots, and water movement can blur the intended contrast. Mango field research measures moisture distribution when evaluating partial drying with mulch. Verify that the imposed treatment actually occurred before attributing yield or quality changes to that irrigation strategy.
