Chisholm Institute of TAFE in conjunction with Haifa Fertilisers, will be running a series of 5 interstate training roadshows to service the needs of the National hydroponic growing industry.

Each roadshow will include a one day course on Fertilizer mix and nutrient solution calculations for Hydroponics and soil less media.

In addition to this event, we will also be delivering additional training courses for:-
