The fifth module, “Irrigation Control Systems,” takes place on Thursday, Feb. 16. Receiving the right amount of water is vital to the survival of all plants. In greenhouses and indoor farms, growers must provide water directly to crops, as rainwater is unavailable. Learn about different systems of greenhouse irrigation and how to control exactly how much water plants receive.
Three presentations will focus on:
- Basics of Irrigation Control Systems and Sensors, presented by Stephanie of the University of Maine
- Integrating Substrate, Plant, and Environmental Data to Enable Precision Irrigation Decisions, presented by John Lea-Cox of the University of Maryland
- Irrigation Control Demonstration from Dramm Water Management
