[Mary Lindsay, Muns Vineyard]

Hello everyone:

Marcus Buchanan, Ph.D., Buchanan Associates, delivered a 90-minute 
presentation on vineyard water management at our meeting on March 8 that 
was packed with valuable information. Several people requested his 
slides. This is a 52MB file with over 80 slides (not all of which he 
spoke to, but most!), so I've put it into a DropBox where you can 
download it here

The presentation covered a wide range of topics (which you will find in 
the slides):

- vine development water needs

- understanding vine water stress, including long-term effects, 
nutritional effects

roots and root development; soil types; calculating available soil water

- floor management and water conservation

- monitoring tools to quantitatively implement an irrigation plan

- quantitative ET-based methods
