Dr. Lamm worked with a multi-disciplinary team of academics and scientists to assess the current and future state of soilless substrate research in North America through support from the USDA Specialty Crops Research Initiative. Through this project, we developed a protocol to assess grower and supplier needs across crop types to shed light on the future of our industry, and most importantly, how researchers like ourselves can support growers. As such, the ability to utilize the data from this assessment and survey is being used to better address future substrate demands and ensure the future success of North American specialty crops through creative innovative solutions. Their first grower focused article was recently published in GrowerTalks. The full article can be found here.
