Training
The CRC IF Training Series offered courses from 2007-2010 for farmers, researchers, advisors, manufactures, retailers and students.
A Centre Pivot and Lateral Move Irrigation Course attracted 417 participants to 28 courses in Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, Portugal and New Zealand.
Beyond 2010 the CP&LM course will continue to be offered by licensed providers:
The course will be overseen by Irrigation Australia.
The CRC IF MasterClasses attracted widespread interest with three unique courses delivered to participants in Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne over 18 months.
The Evapotranspiration (ET) MasterClass offered participants better understanding of the concepts, theories and latest research on ET and insights into the most up to date methods for estimating crop water requirements
The Solutes MasterClass offered participants fundamentals of solute movement, methods to monitor, interpret and manage two contrasting solutes – EC and nitrate. Of particularly interest was the implications for irrigating with less water and the implications of using recycled water.
Flow Measurement (Metering) MasterClass provides information and details about the latest metering methods, their calibration, verification, validation and assessment of error and uncertainty according to National Standards.
The MasterClasses have been an excellent vehicle to get research outputs out into the irrigation industry and an enjoyable way for researchers, retailers and students to share their skills and knowledge. A summary of our MasterClasses is available here.
Future MasterClasses may continue to be offered through Irrigation Australia Limited http://www.irrigation.org.au/ depending on demand and the availability of presenters.
