Listen "Copper in Hydroponics"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Hydroponics Daily with Dr. Russell Sharp. This episode delves into the critical role of copper, an essential micronutrient necessary for photosynthesis, lignin production, and enzyme functionality. Despite its importance, copper deficiency is rare in hydroponic systems due to the micronutrient's widespread availability in fertilizers, unless impacted by high pH levels.
Dr. Sharp also highlights the potential dangers of copper, particularly when used as a fungicide. While effective, it poses significant environmental risks due to its toxicity to both humans and soil biology. Learn about the implications of excessive copper use in agriculture and explore more sustainable alternatives.
