agricultural hydraulics course
Gain mastery in agricultural hydraulics for efficient crop irrigation, especially maize. Learn to size pumps and pipes, compute flow rates, pressure needs and crop evapotranspiration (ETc), compare drip and sprinkler systems, and create weekly schedules that minimise water usage, cut energy costs and prevent yield losses during high-demand periods.

What will I learn?
This Agricultural Hydraulics Course equips you with hands-on skills to design and manage efficient irrigation for a 5-hectare field. Master estimating crop evapotranspiration, scheduling irrigation, sizing pipes, calculating flow rates, and determining tank head and pump pressures. Acquire straightforward, step-by-step techniques to cut water wastage, control energy expenses, and sustain crop yields in peak seasons through informed, data-driven choices.
