Getting to the Root of Crop Health

Water, nutrients, and substrates are core components of the root zone, and their management is critical to root health and overall plant performance. This four-part series will present our latest research findings on water treatment design, ozone and cold plasma systems, recirculating hydroponic solutions, and stratified substrates.

Designed for Industry professionals and researchers working in food, medicinal, and ornamental crop production who want to improve root health, reduce crop losses, and increase productivity. The program is designed for the intermediate experience level.

Learn about:

• Assessing risks associated with low-quality water
• Designing water treatment systems
• Customizing hydroponic solutions to prevent nutrient drift
• Water sanitation with cold plasma and ozone
• Selecting stratified substrates for water and cost savings

Each webinar is $20 per participant and includes a 1-hour presentation by a Root Alliance university expert, supplementary materials, and a take-home executive summary. Webinars will be recorded and available for one year.
