BROOKINGS SDSU Extension will host an informative workshop for specialty crop producers on Nutrition for Greenhouse Crops, July 28, running from 8 a.m. to noon at the Sioux Falls Regional Extension Center.

High quality plants are critical to the profitability of greenhouse growers.

Producing a quality crop in the greenhouse is dependent on the overall nutrition of the plants, said Geoffrey Njue, SDSU Extension Specialty Crops Field Specialist.

During the workshop, Njue will discuss the importance of regular monitoring of the growing media pH and EC in the overall nutrition of your plants, and we will demonstrate how to test for pH and EC. He will also discuss how to identify and how to correct nutrient disorders.

For more information and to register for this event, contact Geoffrey Njue, Specialty Crops Field Specialist at 605-782-3290 or Geoffrey.njue@sdstate.edu.
