It is the first of three events in the Set For Spring workshop series and will be held at Glenavy Hall on Monday, October 20 from 10am to 12 noon.
The workshop will be presented by Jane Robb, an environmental consultant at Irricon Resource Solutions.
"During the workshop, the science behind soil moisture will be explained in a practical way, showing farmers how to integrate monitoring into day-to-day decision-making. With tighter water regulations, rising costs, and limited allocations, farmers who want to irrigate effectively are turning to soil moisture monitoring as a key tool," Ms Robb said.
"This workshop will help build confidence in understanding and using soil moisture data. It’s not just about ticking a compliance box — soil moisture monitoring is essential for reducing nitrate leaching, protecting groundwater, and building long-term water resilience. When used correctly, it transforms water from a cost into a precision tool that supports better business decisions."
