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)
