The level of the course will be between middle and higher horticultural educational levels, but there will be more than enough useful information available for anyone that is interested to learn more about applying fertilizers.
According to Haifa's Ronald Valke, growers have registered from more than 60 countries. "We advice those that want to have acces to the free webinars as well, to register as soon as possible at www.onlineseminar.nl/haifa-u."
