Digitization of irrigation plots

iRiego will offer the course “Digitization of irrigation plots” , a practical training aimed at farmers, advisors and technicians interested in learning how digitization can transform water management on their farms.

Throughout the two days, field demonstrations will be held that will allow participants to observe how digital tools optimize irrigation , improve water efficiency and contribute to more sustainable resource management.

The course aims to bring irrigation technology closer to the agricultural sector, showing in a practical way the real benefits of digitalization in daily decision-making.
