Vineyard water management is one of the most important factors affecting winegrape quality. Beyond the critical question of when to irrigate, the other key factor is deciding how much water to apply. A grower must know the vine water requirements and the irrigation system’s current performance to know how much water is actually getting to the vines. This handout provides a brief overview of how to perform an irrigation uniformity field test to determine how evenly water is being applied to the vines.
