On January 31, Fruit & Vegetable released an article recapping the inaugural Canadian Fruit & Vegetable Summit.
The article reports on Research Lead at the Horticultural & Environmental Sciences Innovation Centre (HESIC) at NC, Christine George’s presentation on innovation in the field through soil amendments.
In addition to discussing trials she has conducted with biochar and zeolite (heavier than perlite), George noted upcoming field trials will look at these amendments in an outdoor horticulture context.
She also explained the five different Innovation Centres housed at Niagara College and the work they do, as well as the potential for growers and industry to partner with the centres for improving operational efficiencies, product development and marketing, and general business tips.
