St. John\u2019s, Antigua and Barbuda \u2014 The Ministry of Agriculture\u2019s three-week Water-Saving Irrigation Technology Training Program entered its fourth day today, continuing its mission to strengthen local capacity in sustainable water management and agricultural innovation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Under the guidance of Mr. Huang Yanwu, Associate Research Fellow at Longping Agricultural High-Tech Co., Ltd., participants spent the day exploring two advanced topics central to modern irrigation practices.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The morning session featured Lecture 5: \u201cDeep Design and Precise Calculation of Water-Saving Irrigation Systems.\u201d The session examined the technical principles behind efficient irrigation system planning \u2014 including hydraulic design, pressure balance, and soil-water-plant interaction \u2014 to ensure maximum productivity with minimal water waste.<\/div>\n
In the afternoon Lecture 6: \u201cCommissioning of Fertigation Systems\u201d focused on the integration of nutrient delivery within irrigation setups. Participants gained insight into calibration, automation, and the fine-tuning required for accurate and sustainable fertigation management.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Reflecting on the program\u2019s progress, Ms. Anika Aska, Agricultural Officer and member of the management team, remarked that \u201cthe course is going well, and the participants have been very engaged in lectures and discussions. Many have shared experiences and exchanged knowledge. The course material has also been very informative and has given the 70-plus participants a lot of new perspectives on irrigation setups and water-saving technologies.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Now in its second week, the training continues to blend theoretical instruction with real-world application, empowering agricultural professionals to design and maintain systems that make every drop count.<\/div>\n
