Excess soil moisture also promotes root diseases like armillaria root rot and phytophthora root and crown rot. These diseases are present in almost all orchard soils and can severely shorten the productive life of trees.
Other losses caused by over-irrigation include:
- Water lost to leaching
- Nitrogen lost to leaching and/or de-nitrification
- Increased pumping costs
- Lowered yield
- Reduced tree vigor and lifespan due to diseases
- Increased weed pressure
