Plant Health: The Basis for Agriculture’s Sustainable Future

By Richard Jones, Corporate Content Director, Meister Media Worldwide

Since the advent of modern agriculture — and particularly in recent decades — a primary focus of crop production has been maximizing yield. But that thought process is changing.Sustainability is a driving concept in seemingly everything today, and that’s especially true in agriculture. Topics like carbon sequestration, building healthy soils, incorporating new tools like biological products, and reducing the use (and the costs) of various ag inputs are part of virtually every discussion. The end result of all of these factors is a focus less on the ability to push fields to their maximum output and more on the benefits of nurturing plants to create healthy, high-quality, and profitable crops.With that in mind, we built this latest Global Insight Series Report, Plant Health, around some of the most recent developments happening across agriculture, both in the U.S. and around the world.

In this report, you’ll learn about:

Insights on how the conversation about plant health is changing among growers and up and down the food supply chain.
The changing perception of fungicides as part of the plant health paradigm
A look at how new EU regulations are shaping the biostimulants market
The role of seed technology in getting plants off to a healthy start

How biostimulants can reduce fertilizer use in greenhouse production
Advances in application and monitoring technology
The University Extension perspective on plant health in the U.S. fruit market
