Irrigation Training Series

There isn’t another irrigation product in your toolbox with the potential to save so much money than the Power Loc fitting.

Power Loc fittings save you time in two significant ways. First, they eliminate callbacks to jobs because the fitting has blown off. Power Loc fittings stay in place much better than insert or compression fittings, eliminating that callback to the job.

In addition, one Power Loc fits many different tubing sizes, so when it’s challenging to identify the size, you’ll never have to drive to the distributor to find the correct fitting.

But this is just the start. Did you know Power Loc fitting comes threaded or glueable to PVC pipe? There are so many ways to save with Power Loc fittings, and this week, we will examine how you can use Power Loc fittings on the job to save time and money.

Trees need special attention during and after droughts to keep them healthy. Trees are the most valuable asset to your landscape, and drought is a significant threat to your investment.

You’ve heard about Jain’s award-winning Water Management Services for permanent orchard crops. In this webinar, you will learn how the same fundamental smart irrigation practices are applied to grow tomatoes.

Sometimes reducing complex situations to basics makes them easier to understand and manage. For example, basketball is a difficult sport, but the goal is to move the ball into the basket. Water management is also a complex process, but breaking it down to the basics means the goal is to replace the amount of water used by evapotranspiration.  

California produces 99% of the United States pistachio crop annually. This crop is the 5th largest agricultural commodity in California, with an annual value of almost $3 Billion. Nearly 25% of the trees are grown in marginal soils. Considering the drought and general water tightening in the West, pistachios might be a crop that is more desirable than ever. However, before pivoting to another crop or expanding what you already grow, there are many other factors.

Water management is one of the most significant considerations. This week we will have an in-depth conversation with Cory Broad about what it takes to successfully manage water for pistachios.

This is going to be a practical session about one of California’s best opportunities for growers.

You’ve heard about Jain’s award-winning Water Management Consulting Services for nut and fruit trees. This webinar will teach you how the same fundamental innovative irrigation practices are applied to help grape growers. Intelligent irrigation scheduling using soil moisture, satellite-based ETc, and NDVI, along with weather forecasting, helps save just as much water, inputs, and energy for vineyards as it does for tree crops.

In addition, the importance of managing vine stress is more critical during veraison, making the timing and duration of irrigation events a significant component of Water Management Services. Join this webinar to hear more about how Jain’s Water Management Consulting Services are helping grape growers get more crop per drop.

Farmers can capture a vast amount of atmospheric carbon in their crops and soils…if they have the water to do it. Many plans to reverse greenhouse gas emissions—such as the one described in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s 2020 report on California’s efforts, “Getting to Neutral”—largely ignore agriculture.

There are two keys to unlocking California’s massive carbon-capturing resource: agricultural technology and connecting with farmers. Irrigation #Agtech represents a broad range of approaches, from buried sensors in the soil to satellite monitoring technology and a wide array of tools in between. Smart irrigation is a game-changer when it comes to carbon capture.

This presentation will examine the trends in the smart irrigation industry and how you can benefit from them.

During this webinar you will learn:

Why smart irrigation is a critical aspect of ag-tech

How major corporations can play a leading role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions

The importance of managing NOx emissions as well as CO2 sequestration

The growing role of controlled environment agriculture for carbon capture

Global cannabis sales are expected to increase from $13.4 billion in 2020 to $33.6 billion by 2025. The demand for irrigation services fluctuates throughout the year for landscape contractors and finding profits in downtime is crucial to a contractor’s success.

With 19 states having already legalized recreational Cannabis and more to come, the Cannabis industry is in desperate need of qualified irrigation assistance. We are certainly in a different business climate today than a year ago and this is a business pivot you should consider.

Our guest, Michael Derewenko, is going to share some tips that will help you win some of this business.

Satellites offer a low-cost and scalable solution to tracking how much water your crops use and where it’s used. The data is received quickly, is straightforward, and is easy to interpret. The best news is this information – provided globally by Agralogics – is now integrated into Jain Logic. Initially offered across the United States and Australia, this information can be accessed easily by anyone using Jain Logic.

Capturing field-specific crop water consumption (ETc) and vigor from space can be incredibly valuable as a standalone product. Still, this data becomes even more powerful when combined with on-the-ground monitoring points like soil moisture sensors and weather station data. Whether a standalone or integrated approach is best for your growing operations, the information is accessible in Jain Logic today. We are fortunate to have both Jeff Tuel from Jain Irrigation, Inc. and Sumer Johal, a seasoned technology leader with more than two decades of experience in data analytics and founder and CEO of Agralogics, with us to teach how to use satellite imaging, and data analytics in cooperation with Jain Logic to be a better water manager.

In this session, you will learn:

How easily Agralogics’ field-specific satellite and Etc data integrate with Jain Logic

How to interpret the data

How the combination creates an excellent water management tool

Quarter-inch, half-inch, and three-quarter-inch tubing are standard sizes for the drip irrigation industry. In addition to those sizes, buyers are presented with a few other options, including 187 x 125, 620 x 710, 5/8, and more. With all these options, how can a water manager know what is correct for his job?

Michael Pippen is a certified irrigation designer with a lifetime of experience in water management and is our guest to help us understand what steps to take to know what size tubing is “right” for our job.

This is going to be an informative free session.
