Hydronomy: Root Zone Disease Management for Hydroponic Crops
Root zone disease is one of the major and most costly risks in hydroponic production. Ensuring all the right equipment, technologies and processes are in place to prevent, respond to and/or minimise negative effects is vital to protect your crop. Designed for impact, sustainability, and long-term resilience, our service gives you the tools to safeguard your root zone and maximise productivity.
