Updates on Microbes, Greenhouses, and Hydroponics The tiny world of microbes just got a lot bigger, and 2025 is set to bring groundbreaking advancements to everyday growing practices. From inoculants and biologicals to beneficial microbes and even pathogens, the year ahead is all about embracing microbial innovation in greenhouses and hydroponics. Explore these research highlights, […]
Microbiology for Agriculture: Hydroponics and More In this blog, we’ll explore the foundational topics of microorganisms and the intersection between microbiology, agriculture, and hydroponics. Explore how this science works and applies to indoor agricultural systems like greenhouses, hydroponics, and vertical farms. 1. What is Microbiology, and Why Does It Matter to Agriculture and Hydroponics? Microbiology […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
