Insights From an Ornamentals-Turned-Cannabis Grower

The two talked plant stress and sun salutations, wet and dry growing, the impacts of COVID-19 on automation and labor, the irreplaceable benefit of hands-on learning, and the added value that research can bring to the marketplace.

Bringing Biostimulants to Controlled-Environment Agriculture (CEA)

Johann Buck, the Director of Technical Services & Innovation at BioAg, recently caught up with “The Grower and The Economist” for a closer look at soil amendments, biostimulants, and biologicals. Dr. Buck explains that we’ve gained a lot of knowledge about what soil is and how it is important to for the plants. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) can be soilless, and these operations tend to focus on the sterile parts of the operations like the lights. However, he is bringing biostimulants to CEA and has found that many of the growers he works with are eager to try new things when they understand the research and development trials. Trials help farmers test new things and find combinations that reduce inputs and/or improve the plants nutrient efficiency.
