Participants Deepen Expertise in Water-Saving Irrigation and Fertigation Precision on Day Four of Agriculture Training

The Ministry of Agriculture’s three-week Water-Saving Irrigation Technology Training Program reached its fourth day, marking significant progress in equipping agricultural professionals with cutting-edge techniques for sustainable water management. Guided by Mr. Huang Yanwu, Associate Research Fellow at Longping Agricultural High-Tech Co., Ltd., participants delved into advanced topics crucial for modern irrigation practices. The morning session, titled “Deep Design and Precise Calculation of Water-Saving Irrigation Systems,” focused on the technical intricacies of efficient irrigation planning. Key aspects such as hydraulic design, pressure balance, and the dynamic interaction between soil, water, and plants were explored to optimize productivity while minimizing water waste. The afternoon session, “Commissioning of Fertigation Systems,” highlighted the integration of nutrient delivery within irrigation systems. Attendees gained practical knowledge on calibration, automation, and the meticulous adjustments necessary for sustainable fertigation management. Ms. Anika Aska, Agricultural Officer and a member of the management team, praised the program’s success, noting the high level of engagement among the 70-plus participants. She emphasized the exchange of experiences and the valuable insights gained from the course material. As the program enters its second week, it continues to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, empowering professionals to design and maintain irrigation systems that maximize efficiency and sustainability.
