- 12.15 - 18.00 hr

Which innovations help greenhouse horticulture progress in the field of water and plant health? During the Water and Plant Health Event, researchers from Wageningen University & Research and experts share the latest knowledge, research results and practical insights in the field of water, plant resilience and integrated crop protection.
Much of this research is made possible by Kennis in je Kas. This event is organised by Wageningen University & Research Greenhouse Horticulture and Glastuinbouw Nederland.
After the plenary programme, you will attend two rounds of short knowledge sessions in small groups. You will gain insight into current themes such as biological control, plant resilience, sensor technology, microbiology, water quality and innovative cultivation systems. You can choose the sessions that suit your practice via the registration form. We end the afternoon with an informal networking drink.
This meeting can also count towards renewal of the spraying license of both growers and advisors.
