In-Depth Strawberry Substrate Workshop

Growing strawberries in substrate (soil-less media) can help prevent soil-borne diseases. It can also increase yields, improve quality, and reduce the costs associated with pesticides, fertilizer, and water. In this 3-day workshop, led by Dennis Wilson of Delphy, a worldwide leader in food and flower production based in the Netherlands, we'll combine classroom and hands-on sessions in Cornell's greenhouses to learn about the most effective methods for strawberry substrate production.
