Controlling Botrytis/Grey Mold The focus of this blog post is Botrytis cinerea, also known as grey mold. Worldwide, this fungus causes annual losses between $10 billion to $100 billion value in crops worldwide [3]. Pathogen Profile provides a concise summary of a plant pathogen that growers are interested in. See our Resource page to see […]
These Behind-The-Scene posts reveal a bit about the people involved with Health Hydroponics. We would like to put names to faces and personalities especially during this time when we are unable to meet local growers in person. Rebecca Co is the Manager and Coordinator of Healthy Hydroponics and the Manager of Innovations and Applications at […]
This week, I’ve compiled a list of resources and social media accounts which provide news, press releases, webinars, DIY tutorials regarding hydroponics, vertical farming, indoor farming, agri-food, and agtech. Some of these provide email subscriptions that deliver daily content to your inboxes, while podcasts allow you to listen while multitasking. Comment on any resources or […]

Last week, we posted a directory of hydroponic and aeroponic farms in Canada. This week, we searched the Internet once again for aquaponic fruits and vegetable farms in Canada. Each entry has the location of the farm and the crops that are hydroponically grown including fish (if sold as commodity). Farms are hydroponic unless otherwise indicated […]
This week I scoured the Internet to put together this directory of hydroponic and aeroponic fruit and vegetable farms in Canada. Each entry has the location of the farm and the crops that are hydroponically grown. Farms are hydroponic unless otherwise indicated. Farms are organized by province and territory alphabetically. This is not a complete […]

This week, I cover the types of data and figures that we generate for growers, what kind of potential pathogens have been seen in a grower’s hydroponic system, and how similar are the microbiomes of samples from four growers. You will get to see a little bit of data from the Healthy Hydroponics! All data […]
