Hydroponic crop production workshop will be offered for home and commercial growers

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University’s Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture will offer a one-day workshop about hydroponic crop production July 12 for home and commercial growers.

Participants will learn about hydroponic crop production, how to manage environmental conditions, and considerations for small-scale and commercial-scale production.

Krishna Nemali, associate professor of horticulture and the controlled environment agriculture Extension specialist, will lead the workshop.

“The workshop will provide both classroom-style and experiential learning opportunities to participants,” Nemali said.

“The hands-on activities take place in one of our greenhouses that showcases different hydroponic production systems and vegetable crops. Both sessions are highly discussion-oriented and provide many opportunities for interaction among participants and trainers.”

The workshop will run from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture classroom and greenhouse complex at 625 Agricultural Mall Drive, West Lafayette.

Registration costs $60 per person and will be capped at 40 people. Parking is free, and lunch and snacks will be provided.
