Science Club: Below the Surface
Join us for a deep dive into what's happening beneath your plants—literally. Eija will walk us through the science of oxygen in the root zone and why it matters far more than most growers realize. We'll cover how oxygen levels affect everything from water uptake and nutrient absorption to a plant's ability to handle stress and fight off disease. It's one of those foundational factors that can make or break your results, yet it rarely gets the attention it deserves.
This session brings together research findings with hands-on cultivation experience to explore the practical side of root-zone management. We'll look at how water quality and substrate structure influence oxygen availability, and examine techniques like oxygen-enriched irrigation and nanobubbles. If you're interested in boosting yields, cutting down on root diseases, and reducing your reliance on chemical interventions, this is a science-backed approach worth understanding.
