Dr. Ryan Dickson, Assistant Professor of Greenhouse and Controlled-Environment Agriculture, University of Arkansas
- Your main areas of research focus: Root zone health (pH and nutrients, soilless substrates, pathogens) of floriculture and hydroponic crops. Also, soft fruit crops grown in soilless substrates.
- Your favorite part(s) of working in this industry: Interacting with growers. Before joining academia, I worked as a commercial propagator of floriculture crops, and I still cherish every opportunity to step foot in a commercial greenhouse/operation, learn from growers, and try to find ways to help and be involved.
- What excites you the most about the future of floriculture? The industry is constantly evolving — I am excited to see what new opportunities await for growers and researchers in the years to come.
