e-GRO University Now in SessionSource: e-GRO

In May, e-GRO.org the same website that brought e-GRO Alerts to the industry, launched it’s latest addition, e-GRO University.
e-GRO University is not a traditional university; but a collaborative virtual university.

The e-GRO University greenhouse course curriculum was developed by Raymond Cloyd, Kansas State University; Margery Daughtrey, Cornell University; Brian Krug, University of New Hampshire; Roberto Lopez, Purdue University; Brian Whipker, North Carolina State University; and Kimberly Williams, Kansas State University.

The curriculum covers topics such as plant nutrition, light and temperature management, plant growth regulators, insects, diseases, plant growth and structures.

e-GRO University was created with growers in mind. The lectures average 15 minutes in length and each covers a specific topic. The university brings some of the top extension specialists right into a grower’s office or conference room. Because e-GRO University lectures are relatively short and categorized for easy browsing, it is easy to find applicable topics or complete the entire course.

The goal of e-GRO University is to make educational opportunities available to everyone in the greenhouse industry in a convenient and enjoyable format. e-GRO University is free to the industry because of the generous support of the Fred C. Gloeckner Foundation.

You can watch the lectures by browsing to www.e-GRO.org and click on “e-GRO University” on the top menu.
