SEPTEMBER 25, 2013: FOUR SEASON GREENHOUSE STRATEGIC PLANNING AND CROP SELECTION

Practical modeling for diversified soil greenhouse systems requires a balance of inputs and production techniques to achieve highest quality. This hands on workshop will offer soil management techniques, seasonal environmental conditions, limiting factors of production, as well as plant health and selection. In addition, we will discuss tracking and evaluation practices to improve production awareness seasonally.
