Last week, we posted a directory of hydroponic and aeroponic farms in Canada. This week, we searched the Internet once again for aquaponic fruits and vegetable farms in Canada. Each entry has the location of the farm and the crops that are hydroponically grown including fish (if sold as commodity). Farms are hydroponic unless otherwise indicated […]
This week I scoured the Internet to put together this directory of hydroponic and aeroponic fruit and vegetable farms in Canada. Each entry has the location of the farm and the crops that are hydroponically grown. Farms are hydroponic unless otherwise indicated. Farms are organized by province and territory alphabetically. This is not a complete […]
This week, I am introducing another member of our team! These Behind-The-Scene posts reveal a bit about the people involved with Health Hydroponics. We would like to put names to faces and personalities especially during this time when we are unable to meet local growers in person. Dr. Michael Lynch is the Director of Bioinformatics […]
This week, I cover the types of data and figures that we generate for growers, what kind of potential pathogens have been seen in a grower’s hydroponic system, and how similar are the microbiomes of samples from four growers. You will get to see a little bit of data from the Healthy Hydroponics! All data […]
This week, I am introducing a member of our team! These Behind-The-Scene posts reveal a bit about the people involved with Health Hydroponics. We would like to put names to faces and personalities especially during this time when we are unable to meet growers in person. Trevor Charles is the Chief Science Officer of Metagenom […]
It’s already been six months since we launched Healthy Hydroponics! Time is going by quickly in the midst of the pandemic. We continue to thank our growers, some of whom we know are operating at reduced personnel capacity. As a small operation ourselves, we are working hard to process samples and continue to develop our […]
Our first Pathogen Profile is on Pythium as it is the most common pathogen that our growers have expressed concern about. This does not come as a surprise because Pythium is ubiquitous and known to cause root rot in a variety of greenhouse hydroponic crops.
One way we are helping growers understand the scientific terminology commonly used when discussing microbiome is by creating a glossary of terms.
In this post, we will give an overview of our hydroponic plant microbiome (microbial communities) project and catch you up on updates over the past few months. Read on to find out! The Goal of Understanding the Hydroponic Plant Microbiome With the growth of the world population, climate change, global crises, and access to affordable […]
Are you a greenhouse or indoor farm grower and interested in participating in our studies, or just want to get more information about our plans or our technology? We are pleased to announce a virtual info session, scheduled for Sept 28, 11 am EDT. This session is being organized by OMAFRA. See this blog post for details. […]
