Greenhouse Grower occasionally highlights a video that shines a spotlight on the controlled-environment industry, from crop protection advice to insider views on plant production at greenhouse operations across the country.

Fertilizer application on greenhouse crops is a vital component of any production cycle. Fertilizers help to maintain and supplement nutrient balance in plants through immediate or slow-release/controlled-release applications to the growers’ choice of medium, whether that be firmly traditional soil or with other options added, including peat moss, perlite, rockwool, and more.
This week’s videos are from Nelson Gonzalez, the Florida Regional Sales Manager of Profile Products. On his channel, Gonzalez talks about common problems and solutions that growers may encounter when applying and using fertilizers on their crops, and the benefits of different growing mediums. Today, we’d like to highlight some of his videos tackling the topics of:
- Correcting and preventing fertilizer displacement
- How and when to use perlite in your soil
- Incorporating controlled-release fertilizer
- The benefits of vermiculite
These videos and more can be found hosted on Nelson Gonzalez’s YouTube channel.
