Ag Instrumentation Workshop

A Train-the-Trainer Workshop on Agricultural Instrumentation

This SARE-sponsored ag instrumentation workshop focuses on train-the-trainer for six different instruments:

Soil Probes (for collecting soil samples)
pH Meters (measures soil water content)
Hay Testing Probes (for collecting hay samples)
PAR Meters (measures light transmission, e.g., through greenhouse film)
Tensiometers (measures soil water tension / soil moisture)
Smart Flow Meters (monitors water usage)
