The horticulture lighting industry is advancing fast with new technology, allowing you to grow more yield while reducing your expenses. In fact, many of these advancements are being developed right here in the United States.
So Hort Americas is hosting an event, as part of their AppLit initiative, to share the most recent research and show how you, as a grower, can benefit from the latest lighting innovations.
Horticulture Lighting and Learning with Hort Americas is on August 11, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in Hendersonville, N.C.
