Manage episode 496484262 series 3390663
In Part 2 of our “Start Clean, Stay Clean” series, we shift the focus from the root zone to the canopy — and why what happens above ground often reflects the strength of your entire cultivation system.
Zac Ricciardi (BioSafe Systems) returns alongside Grodan Crop Specialist Jon Jirikovec to share real-world strategies for dialing in foliar programs, strengthening IPM, and managing environmental conditions to support healthier, more consistent plants. From spray timing and product compatibility to SOPs and the root-to-canopy connection, this episode is packed with insights you can put to work.
