Irrigation Training Series

Are you interested in improving your crop yield while also practicing sustainable agriculture? If so, you will want to attend our upcoming webinar on the benefits of drip tape irrigation.

Drip tape is a proven technology that allows farmers to deliver precise amounts of water and nutrients directly to the roots of their crops. This method conserves water and minimizes fertilizer runoff, making it an ideal choice for those who want to practice sustainable agriculture.

In this episode, we’ll explore the benefits of drip tape irrigation in-depth and provide you with actionable insights and best practices to implement this technology on your farm. Join us and learn how drip tape irrigation can help you achieve your crop production goals while supporting a more sustainable future.

During this webinar, you will learn the following:

Would you like some help selecting the right irrigation agtech options for your farm? With so many different technologies promising to increase your yields, reduce your costs, and streamline your operations, it can be challenging to know where to start. That’s why we’ve put together a webinar to help you cut through the noise and focus on the factors that matter most when selecting irrigation agtech for your farm.

Join us in this episode to learn about the latest trends in agricultural technology, learn how to evaluate different solutions, and discover the best tools and resources to help you make informed decisions for your farm. Take advantage of this opportunity to take your farming operations to the next level with the right AgTech! 

During this webinar, Connor Cunningham will help you understand the following:

The California Water Institute is the newly reorganized Center at Fresno State. This Center, comprised of four different entities, serves as an umbrella organization for all of the water centers at Fresno State.

Charles Hillyer, Interim Associate Vice President of the California Water Institute, will teach us about the organization, the Center’s mission, and its collective goals.

Partnerships like these are necessary to solve our water issues.

During this webinar, you will learn:

Setting an accurate irrigation schedule for your landscape is one of the most challenging activities for landscapers, homeowners, and water managers. It requires detailed information from the landscape and up-to-date information on weather and evapotranspiration. It’s time-consuming and often requires a visit to the controller to make changes.

Smart irrigation controllers that generate their schedules provide the most efficient water use. In addition, providing a customized irrigation schedule based on the plant’s needs improves plant health and growth. Finally, these schedules require input for the landscape, but once that is entered, the savings start adding up with every watering.  

During this webinar, Andy Belingheri, National Sales Manager for Rivulis Irrigation, will take us through the steps needed to set an accurate irrigation schedule. He will demonstrate how easy it is to set up an intelligent controller to scientifically set an irrigation schedule and how it updates based on real-time evapotranspiration (‘ET’).

As part of the Rivulis and Jain Irrigation merger, Jain Logic, and Manna Irrigation are now officially one company under the name Manna Irrigation.  Although we have undergone a name change, our commitment to providing exceptional service to our customers remains as strong as ever. Existing users of both platforms will receive the same products and services as before and now have additional capabilities.  

Through the merger of the teams and the combination of in-field data and automation from Jain Logic with the remote sensing and analytics from Manna, growers and our business partners will benefit from an integrated irrigation management approach. This includes crop monitoring, irrigation monitoring, forecasting, irrigation and farm operation decision support, and remote control and automation.

As growers have different needs, Manna Irrigation will offer the ability to select the right solution for their unique needs through a multi-tiered offering.

In this episode, Ryan McNeish, co-founder of PureSense (acquired by Jain) and VP of Technology for Jain Logic, who will lead the US operations of Manna Irrigation, covers topics, including:

The merger of Rivulis and Jain Irrigation represents a significant development in the irrigation industry. It brings together two leading companies with a shared vision and complementary strengths, promising to deliver enhanced value to customers, drive innovation, and expand market presence. The potential impact of this merger on the irrigation market is substantial and shapes the future of irrigation with innovative solutions. 

This merger captured the attention of the irrigation industry and promises to bring about significant changes and opportunities. This week my guest is John Vikupitz, President of North America, and we discuss the details of the merger, the reasons behind it, and the potential impact on the irrigation market.

During this webinar, you will learn the following: 

Growing indoors constantly has challenges. JAIN hopes to eliminate some of this stress with a webinar dedicated to the Top 3 calls received on indoor irrigation.

In this informative half-hour, we answer questions and provide valuable insight into flow, filtration, and automation. Topic’s we’ll be covering:  

Top 3 Indoor Irrigation Challenges 

I. Clogging

II. Inconsistent Flows

III. Automation

The Sustainability Summit is a 3-day virtual summit presenting sustainability leaders in the green industry. It looks at issues that affect everyone, whether you’re an industry professional or an individual consumer. It’s a collective of industry and business professionals who do amazing work, yet much of it goes unnoticed or overlooked, as much of the industry operates in silos.

What effects our gardens, effects our trees, effects our landscape, and effects our farms? It’s all connected. Consumers alike are concerned about climate change which can affect their choices, from the plants they buy for their gardens to having more sustainable landscapes, and seek to work at companies that align with their ideals. 

In this webinar, Garden Comm Executive Director Chris Sabbarese reviews the nine speakers at the event and how attendees can best utilize the information they receive.

Here is a list of speakers.

The Golden State has been on the cutting edge of water management since statehood. Some moves have been bold but foolish—for instance, hydraulic miners blasting away mountainsides into mud floes they sluiced for gold.

Others have been nothing short of spectacular, like the state and federal water projects that convey water from the north part of the state to the rich farms and teeming communities of the southern part:

In this episode Jim Lauria will discuss these and other innovative initiatives and what made them unique as benchmark projects in the technologies they used and the results that have been achieved.

Accurate irrigation scheduling maximizes the benefits of irrigation and reduces the damage over-, or under-irrigation does to your crops. Often people schedule irrigation by feel rather than by plant need. Unfortunately, some irrigation scheduling methods can be wildly inaccurate since plant water needs and the amount of soil water available to plants are affected by climate, plant size, soil type, and rooting depth.

Accurate irrigation scheduling aims to replace soil water lost by evaporation and plant use as precisely as possible. There are several online apps available to help today with irrigation scheduling. In fact, the LSU AgCenter is about to release a new app that is adaptive to drought conditions. This is a unique app and one you want to take a look at.

During this Training episode, Dr. Stacia L Davis Conger from the LSU AgCenter will step us through online scheduling apps. During this webinar, you will learn the following:
