DETAIL DESCRIPTION: 

The "Strengthening the Horticulture in Armenia" online training programme contributes to addressing the lack of knowledge of growers and students in the horticulture sector in Armenia. The training programme addressing other challenges in the horticulture sector such as the lack of adequate technology and capital is out of scope for this project and will focus on:
- Vegetables;
- Herbs;
- Fruits;
- Nuts;
- Flowers.
Each month (April, May, June, September, October and November) three or four training days will be provided. Next to the online lectures and practicals, the participants will also get assignments which they can make in their own time. Training days will be lectured by experts of Delphy and ICARE. The training programme will include lectures and practicals on Good Agricultural Practices such as water use and pest and disease management; modern greenhouse technologies; and in-depth trainings on vegetable, herb, flower, fruit and nut production.
The six themes are Good Agricultural Practices 1 and 2, modern greenhouse technologies, vegetable and flower production, leafy and herb production, and fruit and nut production. The series of lecture on Good Agricultural Practices will include trainings on general cultivation practices such as substrates and fertilizers, water use, pest and disease management, and (post-) harvest management. The lectures on vegetable, flower, leafy and herb, fruit and nut production will include specific cultivation practices for these crops, and useful varieties and hybrids of these crops.
