Learning Opportunity: Smart Water Use and Practical Irrigation Strategies
May 4, 2026 Proper irrigation is a powerful tool for growers to control crop quality and uniformity and to influence a multitude of factors, including disease risk, nutrient uptake, and root development. So, how can the water management strategies at your operation be improved to help your plants AND bottom line?
American Floral Endowment‘s upcoming webinar, scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, 2026, as part of its ongoing Grow Pro series, will cover smart and effective irrigation strategies, and how to make adjustments based on:
- Crop stage
- Environmental conditions
- Substrate type
The featured speaker for “Smart Water Use and Practical Irrigation Strategies for Floriculture Production” is Dr. Gerry Spinelli, a Production Horticulture Advisor from the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR). His work focuses on improving the viability and profitability of the nursery and floriculture industry, primarily through irrigation management and water quality, and how they relate to high water costs and local and state regulatory pressures.
Willing participants can register for the webinar directly through Zoom or by visiting the Grow Pro Webinar series page on the AFE website, where information on future webinars in the series can be found. Recordings of all past Grow Pro webinars can also be found on the AFE’s YouTube channel.
