Purdue University's Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture will offer a one-day workshop about hydroponic crop production July 12 for home and commercial growers.
Participants will learn about hydroponic crop production, how to manage environmental conditions, and considerations for small-scale and commercial-scale production. Krishna Nemali, associate professor of horticulture and the controlled environment agriculture Extension specialist, will lead the workshop.
"The workshop will provide both classroom-style and experiential learning opportunities to participants," Nemali said. "The hands-on activities take place in one of our greenhouses that showcases different hydroponic production systems and vegetable crops. Both sessions are highly discussion-oriented and provide many opportunities for interaction among participants and trainers."
