Growing plants in a soilless environment allows the grower almost total control over the growing process (water, nutrients, pH, and uptake). Unfortunately, most raw materials for soilless substrates are quarried inorganic minerals, produced in distant countries and involve high shipping costs. Additionally, they are not often biodegradable when disposed of.
This webinar will explore the use of a biochar-based growing substrate that is nutrient-rich, ready to use, and has a more climate-friendly material that can be sourced locally from renewable materials while reducing atmospheric carbon.
Additionally, the webinar will look at research showing how biochar can reduce plant disease in soilless agriculture and improve plant growth overall via the use of biochar’s ability to suppress common plant diseases.
