Water and oxygen are essential for the plant and its roots, but when are both optimally present? How do their levels come along in the root environment? By combining analyses and measurements - that you can do yourself - in the culture, it becomes clear how this works and how you can optimize this yourself.

In the workshop “What is there in the pores; water or air?” that RHP organises, the latest results of the collective research will be presented and cross connections with existing knowledge of water and air will be talked about. After this workshop you will be fully up to date again when it comes to water content, water uptake and air.

During the workshop the following questions will be answered:

• What processes concerning water occur in the root environment?
• What measurements and analyses make these processes insightful?
• How can these processes be influenced?
• Which analyses make the relationship between the quality of the substrate and the culture measurable?
• What are the effects of several irrigation strategies and irrigation systems?
• How can measuring occur optimally with water content sensors?
