Keeping it Green with Fertilizers- An important aspect of plant care in a commercial greenhouse is the application of fertilizers to maintain proper nutrient levels for plants at any stage of the growing cycle. There are over 16 essential nutrients needed by a plant at any given stage. These nutrients are regarded as either macro or micro nutrients. In order to ensure that plants receive the proper dosage of nutrients a grower needs to be aware of the requirements of specific plants and the current levels of nutrients in the growing media.
Bloom Boosters: Putting the Petal to the Metal. Nothing is as sweet or as fragrant as a blooming flower. When blooms are the basis of a successful season, bigger, brighter, and more fragrant blooms sell. Every grower wants a successful harvest and even those that are satisfied with a yield would love to have better numbers. The success of a harvest and flowering crops is directly correlated to the nutrients and inputs placed on the crop.

Crop System Types In the Commercial Horticulture Industry: In the commercial horticulture industry, every facility and company design is different. There are no two facilities alike. With this in mind, a grower needs to select and implement the right cropping system for their needs as well as the plant needs. Each system has their advantages and possible drawbacks. Depending on the type of operation, the crops being grown, budget, market, profit margins, and overall goals, an operation may opt for a certain type of cropping system or a combination of the systems.
Plant Nutrients and Plant Growth: Nutrients for All Stages of Growth- Every grower should be aware that plants, just like humans, need to have a balanced diet. By providing a balanced ‘diet’ to a crop, a grower ensures that plants are healthy and happy. For every stage of growth, a plant needs nutrients to maintain proper growth and development.
