There is an increasing need for efficient and effective management of irrigation to maximise crop yield and quality whilst making best use of the water available.
This is important for meeting the standards required by retailers and consumers; for demonstrating best practice (for example when considering licence renewal); and to minimise costs of production. This course will cover the scientific basis for efficient irrigation management in the UK.
Applications must be made via the Agrifood Training Partnership (AFTP) - see link above.
