US (IN): Hydroponic Lettuce Workshop II at Purdue

Greenhouse and indoor based hydroponics for growing green leaf produce is rapidly growing near urban areas in Indiana. To bridge the gap in learning and increase the competitiveness of Indiana and Midwestern growers, Purdue Extension specialists and researchers in the department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture have developed workshops that provide experiential learning to growers.

Purdue Extension and the department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture welcomes everyone interested to attend the second hydroponics workshop scheduled for September 8, 2017 at WSLR 116, 170 S. University St., Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907. This workshop focuses on supplemental lighting for winter production, strategies for successful production in indoor or vertical farms, biological pest control, fertilizer recipes and injectors and ongoing research in greenhouses.
