GREENHOUSE MANAGER – ONLINE COURSE<\/h2>\n

This training program is an educational pathway through which SITIF (International School for Growers<\/em>)<\/b>\u00a0aims to train professionals specialized in this sector \u2013 specifically Hydroponic and Soilless Greenhouse Managers<\/b> \u2013 by providing all the necessary information to make this a successful career choice. The big news this year is the addition of new topics, leading to the course being divided into two levels<\/b>. Both levels are broken down into specific modules that cover fundamental subjects for the hydroponic and soilless cultivation sector.<\/p>\n

This program is aimed at all agriculture professionals<\/b> (business owners, technicians, growers, consultants, farm managers) interested in optimizing production parameters<\/b>, with a specific focus on greenhouses and soilless systems typical of the Mediterranean basin. The intention is to impart not only theoretical knowledge<\/b> but, more importantly, practical skills<\/b>, leveraging Ageon’s over thirty years of experience in this field.[\/vc_column_text][vc_accordion history=”yes” title=”FIRST LEVEL – main topics”][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”Module 05: Substrates and hydroponic systems” tab_id=”1671462067640-2-5″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”397367″]This teaching module aims to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for efficient management of nutrient solutions<\/b> used in soilless cultivation<\/b>.
