Growers have many technology choices available to them today. Don’t miss this webinar if you want a straightforward approach to finding the right company and technology for your operation.

Autonomous mowers have always been a “couple of years away” from making their mark in the industry. They are a reality in North America, but several questions concerning self-driving mowers must be answered before moving forward with this technology.

As the drought drags on and water prices increase, you must know there are inexpensive adjustments you can make to your irrigation system that saves up to 30% of your water. Most changes provide instant water savings with no additional costs and take little time to understand how to make them.

Considering all the focus on landscape irrigation today, this is a must-see webinar for anyone with an irrigation system.

Don’t take your drip irrigation system for granted. It’s arguably one of the essential components of your ranch, farm, or landscape, and if you are not providing the proper maintenance, you could be doing yourself a huge disservice.

In addition, regular drip irrigation system maintenance will help prevent your system from breaking, getting clogged, and filling up with unwanted things like bacteria and algae.

The good news is there are system components that should be designed for every system to make the maintenance of drip systems easier and faster. This week Cory Broad will teach us what a proper irrigation design includes and how to ensure your design has all the right products for proper maintenance.

Adoption of technology by growers is going to take additional incentives from the government to move acceptance forward.

GardenComm’s Virtual Conference takes place October 12 -14 with an incredible lineup of presenters. I think it’s hard to find such a diverse lineup of speakers so focused on the future of gardening and landscaping.

Climate change is making your water management job harder. Weather variability causes hardships for traditional irrigation controllers.

Adjustments need to be made more frequently, and the degree of change is also increasing. In addition, it takes more water to keep landscapes looking their best when it is hotter.

Climate change is also impacting agricultural production. The future availability of fresh water for human consumption, agricultural production, and manufacturing is uncertain. ​

Rainfall ​patterns are also changing, which adds to needing more tools to manage water successfully. Fortunately, the Jain Irrigation Training Series teaches you how to navigate these challenges this week.

Advances in greenhouse and nursery irrigation are so good no one in a greenhouse or nursery should hand water a plant ever again.

The biggest issue today is too many options of how to water and what emitters to use. The list of choices is long. Starting with spray stakes, splitters, emitters, twist weights, sticks, manifolds, octa-bubblers, and more. The options are many.

This week my guest, Michael Pippen, will teach us what emitter is best for each application. This webinar is for you if you have ever wondered about the best way to water this plant. Michael will take us through a step-by-step process to determine the best emission devices to water your plants.

Officials this week say Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming must figure out how to use 15% less water. The US Department of the Interior has declared the first-ever tier 2 shortage for the Colorado River.

Technology is quickly changing the landscape game. Contractors are using technology for everything from mowing turf to managing water.

This week our webinar guest is Brian Horn, Editor of Lawn and Landscape Magazine. He will walk us through all the cool technology he saw at the conference and how we can benefit from the technology.
