Introduction to Plant Empowerment in Finland

Understanding the plant starts with balance
How do energy, water and assimilates interact within the plant? And how can understanding these balances help growers make better cultivation decisions?
During this evening session, Plant Empowerment consultants introduced the core principles of the philosophy and explained how balanced crop management can help growers better understand plant behaviour and development. Three short presentations brought the principles to life, followed by an open discussion where growers could ask questions and share their own cultivation challenges.
The evening concluded with an informal networking drink, giving growers and horticultural professionals from the region the opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with each other.
