Auditing Ag drip/microirrigation systems can be a complex process. One needs to measure how well the emission devices are performing and the implications on irrigation scheduling and yield. Included in the discussion are common problems found in microirrigation systems and their possible remedy.
This course runs interactively in the learning management system and is not downloadable.Please note that you may receive credit only once per renewal period for this training.
Explore and compare the use of pressure and non-pressure compensating emission devices for agricultural drip irrigation systems in this session. Both theoretical and real-world case studies will be discussed.
Learn about the practical things that can be measured and verified when auditing drip irrigation components in the field including ways to calculate an application rate to make better irrigation schedules.

As drip and microirrigation systems are used more and more for irrigating landscapes, it is necessary to understand how water moves in the soil so that the emitter or microsprays can be placed appropriately to apply water that will encourage good root development.
Taught in SPANISH, this course provides an overview of advantages of drip systems, parts and components, as well as where to install line source or point source systems, pressure compensating emitters, basic design, hydrozoning and determining how many emitters per plant.
