Greenhouse Training Online ‘Irrigation Water Quality and Treatment’ | UF/IFAS
Irrigation is at the heart of plant production, and the quality of that irrigation water will have a profound effect on your production efficiency. Irrigation Water Quality & Treatment, the latest online training course from the University of Florida, will teach you to interpret water quality tests for irrigation of greenhouse and nursery crops, select appropriate water treatment technologies, and design a water treatment and monitoring system. It is designed for people with some experience or entry university level who are in production, technical, or sales roles for greenhouse and nursery crops.
Irrigation Water Quality & Treatment is offered every other year, so make sure you participate in 2024, joining past participants who have said the course “provided a strong understanding of current technologies of water treatment ranging from simple filtration to complex constructed wetlands.”
The course is offered in English and Spanish and is accessible from Aug. 12 to Sept. 6, 2024. All course material is completely online and available at any time of the day, which includes pre-recorded videos, an interactive discussion board with Ph.D. professors, and quizzes. Two new modules are activated each week during the course, for a total of eight learning modules.
