Irrigation of Citrus – A Practical Approach 2024

REGISTRATION OPEN

Course Summary

Water is a valuable and scarce resource, and there will be increasing pressure in the future to improve water and nutrient use efficiency. Today, most nutrients are applied through irrigation systems, and if the system’s efficiency is compromised, nutrient application will be as well. This irrigation course focuses on the effective management of soil moisture. Join us to discuss the basic principles of irrigation scheduling, including when and how much to irrigate, and how to plan and adjust accordingly.

Course Summary:

Water is a valuable and scarce resource, and more and more pressure will be experienced in the future to increase 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, including when and how much to irrigate, and how 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.

Agenda (English):

  • Session 1: Collecting orchard information needed to set up an irrigation schedule
  • Session 2: Practically collecting data in an orchard to set up a theoretical schedule
  • Session 3: Practical aspects of irrigation system maintenance
  • Session 4: Setting up a theoretical irrigation schedule
  • Session 5: Making observations in the field to assist in adjusting the theoretical schedule and the calibration of tools available in your decision making

Agenda (Afrikaans):

  • Sessie 1: Insameling van boord inligting om ‘n skedule te kan opstel
  • Sessie 2: Praktiese insameling van inligting in ‘n boord om ‘n teoretiese skedule op te stel
  • Sessie 3: Praktiese aspekte om ‘n besproeiingstelsel te onderhou
  • Sessie 4: Opstel van ‘n teoretiese besproeiingskedule
  • Sessie 5: Waarnemings wat in die boord gemaak word om aanpassings aan die teoretiese skedule te maak en die kalibrasie van hulpmiddels beskikbaar in jou besluitneming

Facilitator:

C. Fraenkel (Citrus Research International)
Netafim Agronomists (Irrigation system maintenance)

This course is ideal for production managers and personnel focused on irrigation. The course aims to be practical but also scientific in its approach.
