This course will offer information about the reasons to incorporate flow sensing into an irrigation automation system and the basics of flow sensor operation.  The course will also explain the best practices of installing flow sensors in the piping system, wiring the sensor output to the irrigation controller and how the flow signal is used in their control logic. Course Outline:

• Rationale for Adding Flow Sensors
• Theory of Operation
• Hydraulics and Installation
• Signal Outputs and Transmission
• Controller Interpretation of Flow Sensor Signals
• Troubleshooting

Running a small business is hard. Always short-staffed and under-capitalized, business owners juggle a dozen balls every day. Reaching success without sacrificing too much of your personal life means becoming a good business operator. Because most business owners in the Green Industry started as good production or technical people, they struggle with the management of the business.  While professional management can be learned over time, an owner will still need help along the way. No matter how small or large the company, a Board of Advisors will provide powerful guidance to help you maneuver in the game of business. This course will define the role of a Board of Advisors and how to create that board.

Instructor: Dr. Michael Dukes Smart irrigation controllers have been commercially available for more than 20 years. Currently they are mandated in an increasing number of municipalities across the U.S. and are used around the world. These devices have evolved to many of the current devices that offer smartphone app capability. These devices have been proven to reduce excess irrigation when installed and programmed properly. This course will review smart irrigation controller basics and how they can reduce irrigation waste and increase irrigation efficiency. Best practices for the two types of smart controllers on the market will be discussed. Research results from the use of smart controllers and real-world implementation will be presented to help the attendee be prepared to optimally implement these devices.
