A new project for sustainable water management in fruit orchards

Irrigation and fertilization
IRTA works on irrigation and fertilization mainly through the science programs Efficient Use of Water in Agriculture and Urban and Peri-urban agriculture. Sustainable Field Crops and Fruit Production also work on the topic.
IRTA centers where the research on irrigation and fertilization is done:
- IRTA Torre Marimon
- IRTA Cabrils
- IRTA Fruitcentre
- Lleida Field Sation
- Ebre Field Station
- Mas Badia
- IRTA Lleida Agronomists
