Crop measurements & records
Consistent methods for crop growth, yield, fruit quality, scouting, tagging, sampling, and production records.
AGS Service
Training & Workshops
Build the practical knowledge your crew, technicians, and innovation team need to make consistent day-to-day decisions.

The Problem
Good production strategies depend on people applying them consistently in real greenhouse conditions.
Greenhouse teams work with increasingly complex crops, irrigation systems, climate controls, lighting, sensors, IPM programs, and new technologies. When training is too general, staff may understand the theory but still lack the confidence to diagnose problems, collect useful data, or evaluate changes in their own facility.
Why It Matters
Greenhouse performance depends on hundreds of routine observations and decisions. Inconsistent scouting, measurements, monitoring, recordkeeping, or system operation can undermine an otherwise strong production strategy.
How AGS Can Help
Build practical skills around your facility, crops, equipment, and team responsibilities.
AGS develops practical training for greenhouse crew members, technicians, crop teams, managers, and on-site innovation or R&D teams. Sessions can focus on day-to-day production skills, troubleshooting, system monitoring, data collection, or how to plan and run internal trials. Training can be delivered on site, in workshops, or online and is adapted to the experience level and responsibilities of the people attending.
Typical Deliverables
Depending on the project scope, deliverables may include:
- Customized training program and learning objectives
- Technical presentations and workshop materials
- Hands-on greenhouse or production-system sessions
- Training in crop monitoring and production decision-making
- Topic-specific workshops in irrigation, nutrients, lighting, IPM, hydroponics, aquaponics, or applied trials
- Practical reference materials and follow-up recommendations
Hands-On Skills
Training is most useful when people can connect the method to real production work.
Practical sessions can cover crop measurements, data recording, monitoring routines, and the techniques teams need to make consistent day-to-day observations.
Practical Training Topics
Build skills around the measurements and decisions greenhouse teams use every day.
Training can be tailored to crew members, technicians, managers, or innovation teams and delivered around the crops, systems, and procedures that matter to the operation.
Hydroponic nutrient fundamentals
Practical understanding of EC, pH, nutrient-solution management, monitoring, and the relationship between feed conditions and crop response.
Irrigation & root-zone monitoring
What to observe and record around irrigation timing, drainage, substrate conditions, and root-zone trends.
PAR, PPFD & DLI
How greenhouse light is described and measured, what the terms mean, and how to collect useful light information at crop level.
Applied trial implementation
Treatment integrity, replication, labelling, measurement consistency, data quality, and avoiding common trial errors.
Technician SOP development
Turning technical methods into repeatable procedures and checklists that can be used consistently by the operating team.
Common Questions
Questions clients often ask before starting.
These answers are general guidance. The right recommendation depends on the crop, facility, data available, and the decision you need to make.
Can training be customized to our greenhouse and crop?
Yes. The most useful workshops are built around the operation’s crop, production system, staff responsibilities, and current technical priorities rather than using a generic classroom-only format.
Can AGS train technicians who collect trial or production data?
Yes. Training can focus on treatment integrity, measurements, records, sampling, equipment use, data quality, and the reason each measurement matters to the final decision.
Can a workshop combine hydroponics, irrigation, and crop monitoring?
Yes. Training topics can be combined when the operating problem crosses several service areas, which is common in commercial hydroponic production.
Do workshops need to be highly technical?
No. Content can be adapted for crew members, technicians, managers, or technical teams, with the level of detail matched to the decisions and tasks each group is responsible for.
