Although radishes are known as a cool crop, they have strong potential when grown in a warmer environment.

Research shows that the diameter of hydroponic radishes grows with the daily light integral.

Research at Iowa State University reveals the best nutrition levels for controlled-environment radish production.

The chemical-biological conflict in water sanitation requires researchers to pivot their focus to find a solution that brings the best of both worlds.

In, July 2014, I wrote an article on “Indoor Agriculture: Opportunities to Imagine.” In it was a discussion […]

An experiment with growing radishes in plug trays using flood and drain irrigation determines whether or not plug tray density alters yield.

Two industry players have a conversation on how we can deliver the level of grower education needed to address complex issues associated with production practices and pest management strategies.

An experiment with growing ‘Tango’ and ‘Tall Utah’ cultivars in various plug tray sizes explores whether hydroponic production is suitable for celery with its long crop times.

In a twist to traditional field production, experiments with petiole crops Pak Choi, kale and Swiss chard determine their suitability for hydroponic production systems using plug trays.

Marijuana growing is poised for change as growers and researchers focus on improving production practices.

Growing a plant to maturity in plug trays might be foreign to ornamental growers, but with a little help from plug tray manufacturers and breeders, there is little to hold growers back in this root crop category.

A year ago, he announced to the industry he would switch his growing and consulting focus from flowers to food. In this new column, Peter Konjoian shares his research on new possibilities and demand for growing produce in greenhouses.

Konjoian’s Greenhouse has come full circle, from growing vegetables in its early years, to growing flowers and back again. Here’s why its owners think food is the future for this operation.

Horticultural operations are facing increasing pressure to solve sanitation issues related to water treatment. Some of the pressure […]
