  • Mosquitoes in Your Hydroponic System: The Unexpected Threat
    Welcome to Hydroponics Daily with Dr. Russell Sharp, where we delve into an unexpected issue plaguing some hydroponic systems: mosquitoes. While these pests don't typically harm plants directly, their presence in your hydroponic setup can indicate sanitation issues and pose health risks to workers and the surrounding community. In today's episode, we discuss how mosquitoes find ideal breeding conditions in stagnant water, such as open fertigation tanks and poor airflow drainage areas. You'll learn about the importance of maintaining clean, circulating systems to prevent mosquito larvae from thriving, and we offer solutions like using sterilizing agents, installing covers, and improving ventilation. Discover how to keep your hydroponic environment conducive not only to plant growth but also to a safe, mosquito-free zone.
