How to Leverage Technology to Grow Healthier Plants

Posted by Brian Sparks|January 5, 2024

Growing is often referred to as a family business, and if that’s the case, crops and plants are growers’ babies. They tend to them. Care for them. Feed them, protect them and watch them grow. And most importantly, they do everything in their power to keep them healthy until they send them off into the world.

Plant health directly influences agricultural productivity and overall farm success. A healthy plant is more resistant to pests and diseases, and typically produces higher yields. They’re also better equipped to efficiently use available resources like water, nutrients, and sunlight, contributing to sustainable agriculture and fewer wasted resources.

Plant health goes hand-in-hand with quality, which means higher customer satisfaction, which translates to — you guessed it — higher demand and repeat business.

In the new Plant Health report from Meister Media Worldwide (publisher of Greenhouse Grower), you’ll learn more about the steps you can take toward healthier, thriving crops, including:

The emphasis on biostimulants and biofertilizers in commodity crops
New technology in plant breeding to produce healthier crops
How plant health technology manufacturers and researchers are focusing on grower education
The role of mycorrhizal fungi in greenhouse plants
The benefits of phenotyping sensors for plant health

Thanks to the digital nature of this report, you can read analysis and information provided by expert contributors and also hear directly from them through video insights.
