This presentation will take a look at how plants function in their environment and how we as growers, can optimizer their performance by our nutritional strategy and biostimulant inputs. We will discuss university findings on stress mitigation and better plant production while defining commonly used inputs such as humic acid, fulvic acid, sea kelp, silica, plant extracts and more.
