Title: Silicon nutrition for controlled environment crop production
Summary: Silicon is a plant beneficial element that can be added to a grower’s production toolbox to help manage abiotic and biotic stresses. The USDA-ARS group in Toledo, OH, has been investigating the role of silicon in soilless substrate crop production for 10+ years. This research seminar will highlight some recent findings that are advancing our understanding of silicon’s utility in controlled environment production systems and how growers can incorporate it into their nutritional management strategy.
