Healthy crops don’t happen by accident
They are the result of a dynamic balance between the plant, its environment, and the pressures that surround it. The Plant Health Circle brings these elements together in one clear model.
A pest or disease only becomes a real problem when three factors align:
Modern horticulture invests heavily in the first two: exclusion, hygiene, climate control, monitoring technologies. But the third factor (the plant’s own resilience) often holds the key to long-term success.
While the Basic Principles describe the foundations of Plant Empowerment, the knowledge in this program goes a step further. It focuses specifically on plant health. An area that is not covered in depth in the book, but has become increasingly crucial in modern greenhouse production.
