On May 7, a full-day training session will take place in the Melbourne region, bringing together growers and industry professionals to dive into the principles of data-driven growing, organised in collaboration with Applied Horticultural Research (AHR) and Apex Greenhouses.<\/p>\n<p>Building on results from 2025 <br \/>Following a successful workshop in 2025, where participants rated the training 4.1 out of 5 and 76% said it exceeded expectations, Plant Empowerment returns to Australia with a new session focused on the fundamentals of plant balance.<\/p>\n<p>The training will be hosted at Powerplants in Hallam, located in the greater Melbourne area. During the session, participants will explore how to create greenhouse conditions in which plants can actively regulate their own processes by balancing energy, climate and crop needs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" data-pswp-width=\"694\" data-pswp-height=\"463\" data-photographer=\"\u00a9 Plant Empowerment\"\/>\u00a9 Plant Empowerment<\/p>\n<p>The program combines foundational theory with practical applications, covering topics such as climate control, plant activity, ventilation strategies and the use of data in decision-making.
