A strong week of collaboration, learning, and real-world application at the 2026 Advanced School on Microirrigation for Crop Production, hosted by the California Irrigation Institute.
HotSpot AG was proud to be part of the program, with James Nichols presenting on irrigation automation and monitoring, sharing practical insights and real success stories from the field on how technology is being implemented to improve system performance and decision making.
Later in the week, we welcomed attendees to the HotSpot Training Center for a closer look at automation and fertigation in action, followed by an in-field visit at Nichols Farms. These sessions brought the conversation full circle, implementing strategy to ex*****on for real operations across pumps, valves, and irrigation systems.
Opportunities like the School on Microirrigation highlight the value of bringing industry professionals together to refine practices, share knowledge, and move agriculture forward.
