Services for Greenhouses

	We have many years of experience with ornamental plant production. We can offer suggestions for your pest management program and train your staff on preparation of potting mixes or watering of plants. Scroll down for a sample of the services we offer to greenhouses.
	Diagnostic of Plant Problems What is wrong with my plant? We hear the question all the time. We can help. We provide on-site diagnostics of plant problems and recommendations for the most appropriate course of action. You can find more information at the page Diagnostic Services.
	Biological Control Programs Are you struggling to incorporate bio-control into your greenhouses? We have designed greenhouse bio-control programs for many years for spider mites, whiteflies and thrips. It is much more difficult for aphids. We set a budget for the year based on area in production. We can order, release and monitor commercially available bio-control agents. You can find more information at the Sustainable Practices page.
	Cannabis Production We can identify pests and diseases in your crop, recommend treatment options, suggest biological control products and train staff how to use them. We also collect samples for laboratory analysis of tissue nutrient content and provide interpretation of the laboratory results.

	Analysis of Plant Nutrition Are your plants adequately fertilized? We conduct on-site sampling and testing of growing media and fertigation water. We also collect samples for laboratory analysis of tissue nutrient content and provide interpretation of the laboratory results. Ask us for more information.
	Porosity Testing Are you using the growing media that ensures the best growth for your plants? We have been designing potting mixes for many years. We do in-house testing of porosity to ensure adequate air space and water retention. We can make small changes to improve quality, or large changes to incorporate locally available ingredients. Ask us for more information.
