Back2Basics: Media & Fertility Workshop

Growers will review the basics of producing healthy crops through an exploration of media, monitoring soilless substrates, and a deep dive on plant nutrition. Participants will engage in a series of seven hands-on learning labs covering the basics of soilless media production, monitoring soil health, basics of plant nutrition and how to create a fertility management plan, how to monitor plant health, and best nutrient diagnosis practices, as well as how to interpret leaf tissue analysis. The workshop includes a tour of the innovative and cutting-edge Ohio State University Controlled Environment Agriculture Research Complex, a newly built CEA center at the forefront of growing practices.

Back2Basics: Fertilizer Fundamentals
Tuesday, July 18 • 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM

This session will be an introduction to the different types of fertilizers used in greenhouse and nursery production settings. Here, we will discuss the differences among water-soluble, slow release, controlled release, and foliar fertilizers, and how they each can be incorporated into a fertility program. Additionally, we will discuss the common components used to produce fertilizers and how nutrient availability varies depending on the nutrient source. Understanding fertilizer fundamentals will help you make the best production decisions for your operation and will enable you to produce top quality plants.
