Nicole Masters -- Microbial Plant Partnerships

Microbes play the central role in plant health and performance, from the uptake of minerals to inducing defense and lifting valuable plant metabolites to create resilient, nutrient-dense foods. In turn, some plant indicator species (aka weeds) alter microbial and mineral balances to slow succession and increase competition.

In this session, Nicole delves into how we can optimize, or get out of the way of, these essential processes. We will also touch on the role of epigenetics and seed treatment options to set plants, and ourselves, up for success.
