Bridging the GAPs: Approaches for Treating Irrigation Water On-Farm

Thursday, January 5, 2023 | 8:30 AM-5:00 PM

Please note: Pre-registration is required and is limited.

Fruit and vegetable growers are continually assessing their operations to determine where they can limit risk and increase productivity.  As a result, many have expressed interest in learning more about how on-farm preharvest water treatment systems work and how they may fit within their current setup. Come for a day-long course with extension specialists across the Southeast to learn about different approaches to treating water on-farm; how to implement these systems to meet requirements of the Produce Safety Rule; and how to verify that the system is operating as intended.
