SUMMARY:Best Practices for Water Management and Recirculation in Nursery Operations
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Tim Reusch\, national sales manager at Dramm Corporation\, and Alex Ramos\, operations manager and co-owner of Walla Walla Nursery Co. \nAlex Ramos and Tim Reusch will review how effective water-use strategies are crucial to promoting plant health and sustainability. Cultural and mechanical best practices to implement in the nursery can help ensure growers understand the tools and techniques available. Whether you are walking the can yard or edge watering in the greenhouse\, there are opportunities to apply best practices for recirculation and improving water quality. These strategies collectively promote sustainable practices while supporting healthy plant growth.

SUMMARY:Consumers and Environmental Health: How Growers Can Respond to Changing Market Demand
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Marie Chieppo\, partner\, CFS Regenerative Design Studios LLC \nClimate change and rising environmental awareness are reshaping how plants and horticultural products are selected\, specified\, and purchased. Designers\, municipalities\, and consumers are prioritizing climate-resilient\, ecologically functional plant material while also examining how those plants are produced. This session explores what environmentally informed buyers are seeking today\, from regionally adapted and pollinator-supportive species to lower-input production systems and environmentally sound plant containers. We’ll discuss practical\, scalable strategies growers can implement to align sustainability with profitability and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

SUMMARY:Benefits of Using Vast Numbers of Microbial Strains vs. a Few Strains
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kevin Johnson\, president\, Microbial Science Laboratories\, LLC \nThe first part of the slide presentation will focus on individual strains\, describing how each one functions in the soil around the roots. The second part of the presentation will focus on groups of microbes and how they interact with each other. Microbes being discussed are Bacillus\, Paenibacillus\, Pseudomonas\, Streptomyces\, Trichoderma\, Azotobacter\, Saccharomyces and Azospirillum. The third part of the presentation shows pictures and testimonials of using groups of microbes to increase root mass and fine root hair development\, increase plant growth\, increase budding and blooming\, increase disease resistance\, block excess Ethylene production during stress\, increase salinity tolerance\, etc.
