Back2Basics: Media & Fertility Workshop
Saturday, July 15 • 11:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Growers will review the basics of producing healthy crops through an exploration of media, monitoring soilless substrates, and a deep dive on plant nutrition. Participants will engage in a series of seven hands-on learning labs covering the basics of soilless media production, monitoring soil health, basics of plant nutrition and how to create a fertility management plan, how to monitor plant health, and best nutrient diagnosis practices, as well as how to interpret leaf tissue analysis. The workshop includes a tour of the innovative and cutting-edge Ohio State University Controlled Environment Agriculture Research Complex, a newly built CEA center at the forefront of growing practices.

                



    Joann Peery, Horticulture Specialist at Premier Tech  
    Her extensive knowledge combined with her bachelor’s degree in horticulture and her MBA truly make JoAnn Peery an expert. Based out of Texas, she joined our Grower Services in 2007 to make the most of her strong expertise, her communication skills and her hands-on abilities, with clients living in the central region from Minnesota and Wisconsin to Texas and as far west as the Dakotas, and east to Mississippi. Throughout the years, she has helped numerous growers and assisted the sales team in many product demonstrations. The growing media industry is no mystery for her. “I do enjoy the fact that no two interactions are the same even if the ‘issue’ is the same, since each client has a different perspective of what they are doing and how it impacts their results.’’ All she wants is to accompany you to the best of her knowledge!
