Building Better Plants with Biologicals

Date: Thursday, October 19, 2023
Time: 1:00 PM Eastern/12:00 PM Central

You’ve probably been hearing about the use of beneficial microorganisms in growing media. But why should you consider using a potting mix containing beneficials? What will it do for my crops? This webinar will answer those questions. Our guest expert is Nathan Wallace Springer, horticultural specialist for the Southeast U.S. for Premier Tech Horticulture. Nathan will discuss the features, benefits and ROI on several popular beneficial media additives, including Bacillus pumilus and mycorrhizae. Benefits of beneficial microorganisms include:

- Improved fertilizer uptake and reduce fertilizer costs
- Improved water uptake, increasing drought resistance
- Increased resistance of plants to stress
- Increased root mass, flower production, plant size and yield

Nathan, a Premier Tech team member since 2020, has a Master of Science degree in Horticulture from Auburn University. He is an expert in hydroponic and aquaponic greenhouse crops, LED lighting and plant nutrition, and he can answer all your questions about how beneficial microorganisms can improve your crops.
