Blogs 1 and 2 from May and June were rather complicated discussions of remote sensing imagery (focusing mostly on CERES images of these pistachio demo fields) and why the red (dry) to blue (wet) colorized image scale doesn't always remain constant from one image event to the next.

This is the second BLOG for our 2020 Pistachio Irrigation Demo where we will attempt to put up relevant data and images to help growers see alternative monitoring methods in action over 3 different mature pistachio production orchards from Eastside to Westside, non-saline to saline soils.
