First of Cut Flower Series: March 13, 2023.
Soil Health in High Tunnels
- Monday, March 13, 2023, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
High tunnels are soil based greenhouses popular with cut flower growers for several reasons. High tunnels improve flower quality, post harvest, stem length and may offer pest and disease management in addition to season extension. However, growing in soil indoors presents challenges for soil nutrient and pH management. In this session we will discuss how to manage soil and irrigation water parameters to ensure long term viability for high tunnel cut flowers. Jud Reid is a specialist with the Cornell Vegetable Program Team who focuses on greenhouse/high tunnel production and small farm operations.
