Proper selection and management of growing media can directly influence plant growth and overall crop health from beginning to end.
Proper selection and management of growing media can directly influence plant growth and overall crop health from beginning to end. With proper substrate selection and management, it is easier for growers to promote excellent root growth and development which is critical for overall plant health and success.
Additionally, precision water management of substrates/containers at different times over the cropping cycle of plant production can aid in growth regulation (size) and post production shelf life of plants.
As new substrates are entering the marketplace, understanding how they compare to traditional mixes (regarding water management) will also be discussed.
