SECOND LEVEL

Main topics:

This module provides the knowledge and skills for efficient management of nutrient solutions used in soilless cultivation.

You’ll focus on interpreting chemical laboratory analyses of drainage and/or slab extracts, and explore various approaches to define and calculate the most appropriate nutrient solution for different types of soilless crops.

This module analyzes the most frequent mistakes in soilless greenhouse cultivation. Through a series of photographs, we’ll illustrate the most common errors that result from poor choices or incorrect assessments. The goal is to give you the practical tools to recognize and prevent these mistakes, ultimately optimizing greenhouse management and maximizing crop yield.

This module explores non-infectious plant disorders caused by environmental or nutritional imbalances. You’ll learn to recognize symptoms, understand the underlying causes (deficiencies, excesses, or stress), and apply the necessary preventive and/or curative remedies. The ultimate goal is to give you the tools to diagnose and prevent these problems, ensuring the health and productivity of your crop.

This module gives you the skills to convert a traditional greenhouse into an efficient and productive hydroponic or soilless cultivation environment. The lesson covers all fundamental aspects of the conversion process, from analyzing minimum and optimal requirements to performing economic and productivity evaluations. We’ll also explore the different market options, materials, and equipment best suited for your conversion project.

This module is designed to give you an in-depth understanding of how to monitor and interpret plant growth data in hydroponic and soilless environments.

Using the Ageon Crop Registration system, you’ll learn about key parameters—such as climate, irrigation, production, and overall plant growth—and how to measure them effectively. The goal is to give you the skills to translate the data you collect into effective management strategies, ultimately optimizing the health and productivity of your crops.
