agricultural hydraulics course
Gain mastery in agricultural hydraulics for optimal irrigation of crops like corn. Develop expertise in sizing pumps and pipes, determining flow rates, pressures, and evapotranspiration (ETc), evaluating drip versus sprinkler systems, and creating weekly irrigation plans that reduce water consumption, lower energy costs, and prevent yield reductions. This comprehensive training ensures efficient farm water management and reliable production.

What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to design and manage effective irrigation systems for a 5-hectare field. You will learn to calculate crop evapotranspiration, plan irrigation schedules, determine pipe sizes, compute flow rates, and adjust tank head and pump pressure. Acquire straightforward, step-by-step techniques to minimise water wastage, control energy expenses, and sustain crop yields under high demand through informed, data-driven choices.
