On October 13, Greenhouse Canada released an article on minimizing fertilizer loss in greenhouses written by Christine George, Research Lead at NC’s Horticultural & Environmental Sciences Innovation Centre.
The article highlights that Niagara College’s Horticultural & Environmental Sciences Innovation Centre (HESIC) has recently been working with local businesses to help with this problem. The team has been examining ways, through using various growing media amendments, to minimize fertilizer loss in the greenhouse, and some of the findings show promise not only for the local businesses, but also for the agriculture community.
The article also features a photo of Student Research Assistant, Ashley Paling, monitoring crops grown in media amended with vermicompost and biochar at NC’s Teaching Greenhouse.
