You’ve probably been hearing about the use of beneficial microorganisms in growing media. But why should you consider using a potting mix containing beneficials? What will it do for my crops? This webinar will answer those questions. Our guest expert is Nathan Wallace Springer, horticultural specialist for the Southeast U.S. for Premier Tech Horticulture. Nathan will discuss the features, benefits and ROI on several popular beneficial media additives, including Bacillus pumilus and mycorrhizae. Benefits of beneficial microorganisms include:
- Improved fertilizer uptake and reduce fertilizer costs
- Improved water uptake, increasing drought resistance
- Increased resistance of plants to stress
- Increased root mass, flower production, plant size and yield
