Innovation in Agriculture Education

Mandeville, Jamaica, July 2, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The greenhouse falls under the purview of the faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agronomy. The greenhouse is now a vital tool to practically demonstrate the application of greenhouse technology for best results in crop production. The greenhouse is fully equipped with water tanks and a Fertigation system. Fertigation is the injection of fertilizers, soil amendments, and other water-soluble products into an irrigation system.

The department has already begun to reap the benefits of successful crop yields (over 500 lbs of sweet pepper weekly), while educating a new generation of farmers, stimulating a greater interest in the field of agriculture in Jamaica. Advantages of greenhouse farming include protection from insects and diseases, adverse weather conditions, creating the best environmental conditions for growth and production and high, quality yields.

The College of Agriculture, Science and Education’s Facebook page describes the institute as “A multidisciplinary institution that is committed to providing education and training of the highest quality in agriculture, science and teacher education to men and women in Jamaica, and also in other Caribbean countries, through teaching, research and outreach. The College intends to promote and foster the development of individuals who are professionally qualified, articulate, culturally aware, environmentally and health conscious, morally sensitive, ethically motivated and service oriented.”
