The International Symposium on Growing Media and Soilless Cultivation
GroSci 2013
Working groups under the Commission of Plant Substrates and Soilless Cultivation of the ISHS (Growing Media, Composting for Horticultural applications, Substrate analysis, Hydroponics, Aquaponics) and the International Peat Society are pleased to announce a joint Symposium from June 17-21 2013. The event will be organised by Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture.
Stakeholders
The symposium aims to bring together researchers and industry in the fields of substrate and compost production, the use of soilless growing systems and recirculating systems, aquaponics and microbiological processes in substrate and compost. The symposium aims to address world wide scientific and technological advances in growing media and growing media systems including water based rooting systems.
