Welcome to

Irrigation of Citrus – A Practical Approach 2024

Course Summary

Water is a valuable and scarce resource and more and more pressure will be experienced in the future to increase the water and nutrient use efficiency. These days most of the nutrients are applied through the irrigation system and if the efficiency of the irrigation system is questionable the nutrient application will also be questionable. This irrigation course will focus on the effective management of soil moisture. Join us in discussing basic principles of irrigation scheduling on when and how much to irrigate and to plan and adjust accordingly.

Kursus Opsomming

Water is ‘n waardevolle en skaars hulpbron en meer en meer druk sal in die toekoms op produsente geplaas word om meer presies te wees in die gebruik van water en voedingstowwe. Deesdae word die meeste voedingstowwe deur die besproeiingstelsel toegedien en indien die besproeiingtoediening nie optimaal is nie sal die voedingstoediening ook nie optimaal wees nie. Hierdie kursus fokus op die effektiewe bestuur van grondvog. Sluit by ons aan om weer die basiese beginsels in besproeiing-skedulering te bespreek en om by ‘n eenvoudige antwoord uit te kom oor wanneer en hoeveel besproeiing toegedien moet word. Leiding word aangebied in die beplanning en aanpassing van ‘n besproeiingstrategie waar nodig.
