Plant Health is one of the most talked-about topics in horticulture today. But what does it actually mean? And how do you translate theory into daily greenhouse practice? To explore this question, Plant Empowerment has launched a new Plant Health podcast series. In this series, we dive deeper into the fundamentals of plant health and discuss why it’s much more than pest or disease control alone.

We’re excited to welcome Signify, Philips Horticulture LED Solutions, as the newest partner in the Plant Empowerment network. With this collaboration, we strengthen our ability to support growers with data-driven insights that improve crop performance, energy efficiency, and overall sustainability.
